This miniature drawing delicately portrays a gondola moored at the water’s edge, its elegant form gently rocking in the calm canal. The long, narrow boat is drawn with graceful lines, its iron prow (ferro) rising with quiet dignity. Light pencil shading captures the gentle ripples around its hull. In the background, a classic Venetian building rises. Subtle reflections shimmer beneath, anchoring the gondola in its timeless setting. The scene evokes Venice’s quiet romance and historic charm in a peaceful, poetic moment.
