"A Doorway" is a 1934 photograph by American artist George C. Poundstone (1870-1938) capturing a quiet moment on a canal in Venice. The photo, now held by the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to Poundstone's skill in capturing the beauty of everyday scenes. The narrow canal, lined by aging buildings, features a small boat with figures in it, adding a sense of human presence to the tranquil scene. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the image, highlighting the textures of the stone and water.
