About this work

This drawing shows a busy Venetian scene with boats on the water and a mix of old buildings. The artist used lots of tight lines to fill in shadows and textures, making the buildings and water look detailed. A lone figure stands near the dock, while a gondola glides past. The signature reads "Daniel Brade," which matches the artist’s name. The style looks like it might be from the 1800s, but the exact date isn’t clear. If you like this kind of detailed drawing, check out cross-hatching.

About the artist

Artist

Daniel Brade

Daniel Brade showed up in New York in the late 1970s with a satchel full of Xeroxed drawings—black-and-white, jagged, like circuit diagrams for dreams.
