Artist, Italian, 1863 - 1951

The image shows a cluster of buildings near a body of water. Their reflections are visible on the water's surface. The horizon is where the dark silhouettes of the buildings meet the sky. The brushstrokes are sketchy and expressive, creating a textured feel, especially in the sky and water. The color palette is monochromatic, using black and gray shades to enhance contrast. The scene suggests an evening or dimly lit setting, with detailed buildings and reflections.
