Description of the work: A watercolor that portrays a stretch of the Grand Canal in Venice, with gondolas gliding between historic façades and a sequence of red awnings by the water’s edge. The translucent washes and the soft palette reveal a light mist, while elongated reflections on the water convey serenity. The diagonal composition guides the eye through the scene, balancing suggested architectural details with a loose watercolor treatment. Ideal to add a serene and sophisticated touch to your space.
