Description from the seller

Beautiful old watercolor representing a view of Venice animated by a gondola on a canal, with bridge and campanile in the background, presented in an elegant old carved and patinated wooden frame, which perfectly enhances the artwork.
The whole piece has a lot of charm and evokes the luminous atmospheres of traditional Venice.
The brushwork is free and lively, almost impressionistic in places, with a beautiful handling of transparency and reflections in the water. The Venetian façades are rendered with spontaneity and finesse, in a soft and harmonious palette.
The composition offers a nice depth perspective, guiding the eye naturally towards the bridge and then the campanile in the background.
Work signed bottom right.
Technique: watercolor on paper
Era: mid-20th century
Dimensions of the artwork: 38.5 × 29 cm
Dimensions with frame: 47.5 × 38.8 cm
Good general condition.
