Capri is a 1913 pastel by Elihu Vedder, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a serene scene of a garden or courtyard, with a large archway in the background. The archway is adorned with lush greenery, and a statue stands prominently in the center. The atmosphere is peaceful, with soft lighting casting a warm glow on the scene. The use of pastel and charcoal on dark gray wove paper adds a sense of depth and texture to the painting. The artist's choice of medium creates a soft, dreamy quality that enhances the tranquil atmosphere of the scene.
