Oil on canvas, signed 'Jane Peterson' lower left.
24 x 18 in., 29 x 23 in. (frame).
Note: During extended periods painting in Europe, Jane Peterson returned often to Venice where the effects of light shimmering on the canals were captured by her expressive brushwork and vivid use of color. This painting is a fine example of Peterson’s deft treatment of light on water and the surrounding reflections. Peterson painted many views of Venetian canals and the iconic small bridges that span them. They were, for her, the perfect vehicle to display her skill at observation and the bold palette that became one of the hallmarks of her unique style.
