A Plein Air charcoal drawing that depicts the Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy, with an expressionistic approach. The scene is rendered in fresh, gestural marks to create a composition with a rich sense of place and movement. The bridge is prominently featured, boasting and intricate railing. In the foreground, a gondola floats on the water, while a tall, spiraling mooring post stands like a sentinel. The buildings in the background, including a dome and various ornate structures, are also simplified and rendered with heavy lines and repeated shapes, creating a dramatic and abstracted urban landscape.
 
The drawing is matted, framed, and ready to hang in a vintage, steel frame, with glass protecting the art.
