"Pavia" is an etching created by Donald Shaw MacLaughlan in 1904. The artwork depicts a bustling city square in Pavia, Italy, with a grand cathedral dominating the scene. The artist uses detailed lines to capture the architecture of the buildings and the lively atmosphere of the market. The etching, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into early 20th-century Italian life and the artist's fascination with European landscapes.
