Rio della Calcina, Venice

Andrew Fisher Bunner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a canal scene. Narrow waterway with dark water fills the lower part of the image. A wooden pole protrudes from the right side into the water. Tall buildings line both sides of the canal. The buildings are multi-story with small windows and chimneys on the roof. The buildings on the right side have a short wall on the edge of the canal. The wall and buildings on the right are shaded to create depth. The background is a light gray sky. A signature appears in the lower right corner.
