Specialist note
One of only two views of Venice known to have been painted by Shannon, this small panel, like the proceeding lot, probably dates to 1906 or 1912. Still working under the spell of Whistler, Shannon, in this instance, used comparatively active brushwork to create an impression of Venice at night.
