Sketch of Houses near SS. Giovanni e Paolo, Venice

Andrew Fisher Bunner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white sketch of a large, multi-story building situated near a body of water. The building features a light-colored façade with a darker roof and multiple chimneys. The building has three levels, each with several windows and balconies. A small staircase leads down to the water, where a small boat is moored. Several wooden poles protrude from the water in front of the building. The background shows a white sky and some trees or bushes to the right of the building. The artist's style is characterized by detailed lines and shading, giving the image a textured appearance.
