1880
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Fondamenta della Zattere is a 1880 by Otto Henry Bacher, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy waterfront scene with a mix of boats and buildings. On the left, a row of tall, plain buildings lines the shore, with a few people walking along the edge. In the water, a small rowboat drifts near the dock, while a large, multi-masted sailing ship anchors farther out. The lines are loose and quick, giving everything a sketchy, unfinished feel. The artist focused on everyday life near the water, capturing the contrast between the quiet rowboat and the towering ship. The scene looks like it’s drawn from real life, not a polished painting.
