About the piece

Painted in 1902 by Marie-Joseph Clavel, known as Iwill, this atmospheric oil study depicts a serene moment on the water, likely in Venice. The delicate palette of soft purples and pale golds evokes a dreamlike sense of peace, characteristic of the artist's poetic and Tonalist approach to coastal landscapes.
