Harbor at Livorno is a 1764 ink by Franz Edmund Weirotter, a Romanticism work, depicting Tower, held at National Gallery of Art.
A busy harbor scene shows ships, docks, and buildings under a cloudy sky. Soft lines and cross-hatching create depth in the water. Tiny figures and rigging fill the scene but stay clear. This is an etching, a print made by scratching lines into metal. It’s printed on laid paper, which has a woven texture you can feel. Few artists mixed etching so smoothly with such detail. This looks like work by Weirotter, Franz Edmund.
