Arco San Carlo, Naples is a 1921 by William Walcot, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy street framed by a grand archway. The arch has thick stone supports and a curved top, with buildings and balconies packed tightly on either side. Below, people and horses fill the street—some on foot, others riding or driving carriages. The artist focused on quick, sketchy lines to capture movement and light. The scene looks like a moment frozen in a bustling city, with details like lampposts and a distant clock tower. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
