Rio del Erbe, Venice 1885

"Rio del Erbe, Venice" is a pen and ink drawing created by American artist Andrew Fisher Bunner in 1885. The artwork depicts a narrow canal in Venice, with buildings lining either side. A small bridge arches over the water, and a gondola is moored to the right side of the image. This detailed drawing captures the unique beauty of Venetian architecture and the quiet charm of the city's canals. This artwork is currently located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The artwork's small size, at only 12 3/8 x 9 1/4 in., adds to the intimacy of the scene, allowing the viewer to feel as though they are standing right on the banks of the canal. This drawing is a testament to Bunner's skill as a draftsman and his appreciation for the architectural beauty of Venice.
