A Street In Venice c. 1880 - 1882

"A Street in Venice" (c. 1880-1882) by John Singer Sargent depicts a fleeting moment in a narrow alleyway of Venice. The composition captures a man in a dark coat conversing with a woman in a bright pink dress and a black shawl, creating a dramatic contrast. The scene is filled with atmospheric light, typical of Sargent's style. The painting showcases Sargent's masterful use of loose brushwork and vibrant colors, characteristic of his Impressionist influences.
