Location
Not on view
A vertically oriented etching in black ink on beige paper depicts a narrow Venetian canal where a man on a boat plunges an oar into scratchy, hatched reflections. A stone bridge arches across the center below towering buildings with weathered walls and tall chimneys. Dense, overlapping lines create deep shadows throughout, while tiny birds drift across the pale sky. Faint script at the top identifies the location as Venice.
