This view is similar to Whistler's The Riva, No. 1 and The Riva, No. 2, etchings, 1879-1880 (Kennedy 192 and 206), only from the opposite direction. While Whistler's view is probably taken from the Casa Jankovitz, where he lived with the "Duveneck Boys" at the time, Duveneck's is likely seen from his balcony at the Casa Kirsch. According to Bacher, who was helping Duveneck print his plates in Venice, Whistler's Riva views were influenced by this and several others by Duveneck, though there is much debate regarding this claim.
