    Venetian Canal Scene With Sailboats

    This early 20th-century English watercolour depicts a busy Venetian waterway with several sailboats and numerous figures.

    Working from a moored boat, the artist has captured the canal from a low vantage point. This unusual technique draws us closer to the scene as if we’re sitting alongside them under a bright Italian sky. The crowd on the far side is buzzing with vibrancy while the water is rendered in a range of shimmering tones.

    The artist is unknown but it’s similar to a Venetian scene by William Todd-Brown (1875-1952).

    Framed and glazed.

    Overall size: 22” x 18” / 56cm x 46cm

    Conservation & History

    We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
