Venetiaans concert 1864 - 1923

"Venetian Gala Concert by F. Guardi," is a black and white etching by Peter von Halm depicting a large, opulent gathering of people in an elaborate hall. The print shows a crowd of elegantly dressed individuals gathered in a concert hall, their faces obscured but their attire visible. This print is an example of the artist's use of etching, a printing process where acid is used to etch the surface of a metal plate and create the design. It is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
