About the piece
Created in 1882 by Swedish artist Carl Skånberg, this oil-on-panel sketch depicts a serene yet industrious moment in Venice. The composition centers on a humble fruit barge, contrasted against the grand scale of seafaring vessels anchored in the harbor. The loose, confident brushwork and soft, diffused light create a timeless Mediterranean atmosphere suitable for elegant home or office interiors.
