About the piece
Painted in 1881, this evocative work by John Singer Sargent captures a quiet moment of encounter in a narrow Venetian alley. The dramatic use of shadow and the vibrant pop of the woman's skirt highlight Sargent's technical brilliance and his ability to infuse everyday scenes with a sense of narrative mystery.
