Bridge, Venice c. 1900 - 1920

"Bridge, Venice" is a charcoal drawing by Eugène Vail, a French artist known for his depictions of city life. Created between 1900 and 1920, this piece captures the bustling atmosphere of a Venetian bridge. The shadowy figures, rendered with loose strokes, suggest a sense of movement and anonymity. Vail's atmospheric use of charcoal creates a sense of depth and the muted tones evoke the somber mood of the scene. This drawing showcases Vail's talent for capturing the fleeting moments of urban life, a common theme in his work.
