About this work

This sepia-toned photo shows a riverbank with a busy scene of people and boats. On the far side, a hill rises with a mix of old buildings and a large, domed structure with tall spires. The river looks calm, and the shore has scattered rocks and a few trees. The photo was taken from a bridge, giving a clear view of the river and the hillside. The buildings and domed structure suggest this might be a historic or important place. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where this photo is kept.
