Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

This is a drawing of an archway leading to a canal surrounded by buildings. The scene depicts an indoor view through a dark, shadowed archway which leads the eye toward a brighter, outdoor setting along a canal. The foreground features arches where figures are standing. In the background, beyond the archway, is a view of a Venetian canal and the facades of Renaissance-style buildings reflecting in the water.
