Canale dei Agni Santi, Campo San Sebastiano, Venice

Andrew Fisher Bunner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a canal scene. The canal runs horizontally across the bottom. A bridge with a single arch spans the canal on the left side. A small boat sits under the bridge on the right side. A slightly larger boat with a pointed bow and a long oar sits on the right side of the canal. The buildings on either side of the canal are tall with many windows. The building on the right has a balcony on the second floor. In the background, a tall tower with a dome and cross rises above the rooftops. The sky is blank and featureless. The buildings and objects are drawn with a range of lines, from light to dark.
