THE TOWN OF SIENA.

On June 3, 2018March 18, 2022 By Jonathan Russell

The view is of the Duomo di Siena (Siena Cathederal) from the NNW. Both Annie and Isabel painted similar scenes. Annie’s version is undated, but the similarity between the two suggests they might be contemporaneous.

annie-susan-siena — Annie’s version (left) is from a lower viewpoint, closer to the cathederal and a little to the east of where Isabel worked from.
