Villa Mocenigo is a 1762 ink by Giovanni Francesco Costa, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a quiet waterfront scene with a large, pale building behind a fence. A small boat carries three people, while others on shore tend to sheep and a dog. Trees frame the view, and the water looks calm but busy. The title at the bottom names it *Villa Mocenigo*, a private estate. The artist used fine lines to capture details like the fence and ripples.
