This watercolour shows a fancy masquerade in Florence’s Boboli Gardens. Scottish artist William Russell Flint painted it in 1920. It’s a quiet scene with well-dressed people and masks. Flint was famous for watercolours in the early 1900s. This one stands out because it’s refined, not bold or boldly dressed. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this work.
