Andrew Fisher Bunner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a canal scene with buildings on either side. The building on the left is white with a small balcony on the first floor and a railing around it, a second-floor balcony on the left side with a railing. The building has a tiled roof with a conical roof structure on the corner. There are several windows on the building, some with shutters. A set of stairs leads down to the water on the right side of the building. The water is calm and reflects the buildings. There are more buildings on the right side of the image, one with a dock or pier extending into the water. The buildings have various architectural details, including chimneys, shutters, and ornate roof features. The overall atmosphere suggests a quiet, serene scene. The title of the image is "Vicino San Giovanni e Paolo, Venice" by Andrew Fisher Bunner.
