- Physical Description
- This small watercolor represents a view of a city on the banks of a river. A bridge in the middle ground connects the city, whose buildings run to the water's edge. A woman wearing a bright white shirt with a blue dress and a brilliant red scarf stands in the foreground. A boat covered by a red-and-white striped canopy, poled by a man in the bow, approaches the near shore.
- Subject Matter
- Samuel Prout created this small watercolor of the Italian city of Rimini on the Adriatic coast from drawings made during one of his tours of Italy in the 1820s. The scene offers a picturesque view of the city from the banks of the Marecchia River and includes one of the city's most famous monuments, the Tiberius Bridge, named after the Roman emperor who completed it in 21 C.E. Prout's view of Rimini was also reproduced as a steel engraving, which was published as an illustration in "The Landscape Annual for 1831: The Tourist in Italy," written by Thomas Roscoe.
