Rio San Giacomo, Venice 1885

Andrew Fisher Bunner's 1885 pen and ink drawing "Rio San Giacomo, Venice" depicts a picturesque scene of a narrow canal in Venice, Italy. The detailed rendering highlights the characteristic architecture of the city, with tall buildings, arched bridges, and intricate details of windows and balconies. The absence of color in the drawing enhances the sense of atmosphere and depth, drawing attention to the interplay of light and shadow.
