Artist, Scottish, 1883 - 1959

The image shows a canal in a historic city. A gondola with a gondolier is in the foreground, navigating through the waterway with a pole. The water's surface reflects surrounding architecture. Further back, there is a large building with ornate details and arched windows. The scene is enclosed by tall structures on either side. The etching style uses fine lines to depict architectural elements and water movement. The color palette is predominantly monochromatic with earthy tones.
