Andrew Fisher Bunner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a canal scene. A small boat floats on the water. The canal runs between two rows of buildings with many windows. The buildings on both sides are tall and densely packed. They have chimneys and architectural details like archways. The image shows a view down the canal with buildings on either side and a continuation of the canal in the background. The sky is blank and featureless. The image is presented on a white background.
