Brug over de Rio di San Toma in Venetië c. 1914 - 1919

Willem Witsen's etching, "Brug over de Rio di San Toma in Venetië", captures the essence of Venice's waterways. Created between 1914 and 1919, the print depicts a narrow canal with a small bridge and several gondolas. The artist's signature, "Witsen," is visible in the lower right corner. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the beauty and tranquility of Venice, a city often depicted in Witsen's work. The use of etching, a printing technique using a metal plate, creates a distinct texture and depth to the image, enhancing the overall impression of the scene.
