A small watercolor painting that appears to have been painted between the late 19th and early 20th century.

A view of a Venetian canal in soft sunlight.

The brush strokes, taking advantage of the simple texture of the paper, are delicate yet free-flowing.

The pale colors and the decorative gold molding, which appears to be original to the painting, have acquired a nice depth over the years, further enhancing the transparency of the painting itself.

This photograph quietly evokes the feelings of someone's journey from long ago.
