A clear, limpid view of Dresden with the Augustus Bridge, by Bernardo Bellotto. The great River Elbe stands out, dividing the city, which is joined by the historic Augustus Bridge reflected in the river. On the left is the bank with a landing stage for boatmen and a few passers-by, while along the right bank the whole city unfolds, with a church under construction (bell tower) and fine palazzi in evidence. The sky shows a few clouds.
The painting is undated. It is one of the 14 views of the city of Dresden that Bellotto painted during one of his stays. Other variants of this work exist.
