San Frediano in Cestello, Florence is a 1915 by Muirhead Bone, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The image depicts a serene scene of a church, San Frediano in Cestello, Florence, situated on the banks of a river. The church's façade is rendered in a range of grays, with the dome and bell tower standing out against the lighter sky. In the foreground, a small boat is visible, with two figures rowing towards the church.
