Gondola, Venice 1894

Anders Zorn's 1894 watercolor, "Gondola, Venice," captures a moment of tranquility on a Venetian canal. The composition focuses on a single gondola, its dark silhouette against the shimmering water, with a glimpse of a grand building in the background. The artist's deft brushstrokes create a sense of movement, as light reflects off the water's surface. Zorn's use of loose, impressionistic brushwork and cool colors captures the ephemeral beauty of the Venetian scene.
