This painting shows a window in a palace in Venice. It's a watercolour sketch, likely made as a first step for a book illustration. The sketch is highly coloured, even though it might be printed in black and white later. This detail tells us about the artist's process. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Ruskin, John.
