Original Watercolour 10" x 8"
The manufacture of a true Venice gondola is an intricate art involving eight different types of wood, almost three hundred individual parts, and special paintwork done by qualified artisans. You’ll recognise them by the silver‘blade’ on the bow, looking almost Viking like, and of course the shiny black finishing. Also the boat is not actually symmetrical, but almost banana shaped from above to counter for only one oar being used by the goldolier.
