Provenance: From a large collection of this artists work, held in England. Description: A beautifully atmospheric watercolour painting by Antony Avery, capturing a quintessential Venetian scene featuring two gondolas moored in calm waters. The façade of an aged ochre-toned Venetian building serves as the backdrop, complete with shuttered windows, an arched doorway, and flower-filled window boxes that add a touch of charm. The reflections of the gondolas and building ripple gently in the water, creating a sense of tranquility and timelessness. Avery’s delicate use of light and shadow emphasizes the architectural details and the movement of the water, while his restrained yet effective colour palette evokes the beauty and serenity of Venice. This piece is perfect for collectors of European cityscapes, water-themed art, and traditional watercolour paintings.
