The color lithograph, Rialto, in the MMFA collection is characteristic of Cottingham's work in its subject matter, bright color, and flattened spatial setting, though its black background is somewhat unusual. It was printed by Randy Folkman of Lonetown Press, in Redding, Connecticut, and published by Cottingham. There are several versions of the subject, including a small edition of hand-colored works, and an oil painting.
