Venice

Henri Edmond Cross

National Gallery of Art

The painting shows a waterfront scene with red and white sailboats on the water to the left. In the background, there are pink buildings with white and teal domes and a tall clock tower. On the far right, people are walking along a gray pathway next to the water. The sky is blue and filled with fluffy clouds in white, purple, and pink. The brushstrokes are loose and thick, and the off-white paper below shows through in several places.
