Description
A very fine mid 19th century watercolour of gondolas on the grand canal in Venice, with shadowing church basilica in the background. The artist has signed and dated to the lower right-hand corner, and the painting is well presented in an attractive wood veneer frame, with inner gilt slip and white card mount. Glazed. On wove.Condition
The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and yellowing. Signs of wear and tear to the frame to include veneer loss to the rebate at the top, and splitting to the left-hand member. There is also a small chip to the gilt slip along the lower edge of the frame.
