This John Haymson handcolored pen and ink print, "Venice" (the subtitle is illegible from the artist's script -- it may have something to do with a specific piazza), was apparently drawn in the 1940s. The print shows the first in a line of gondoliers chatting with prospective passengers alongside the water and his gondola. The perspective of the buildings shows the narrow passageway. The image extends to the red retro frame and is 9 x 12 inches.<p>

This is an older print which looks original. Despite my research, I have been unable to locate another copy of this print and assume that it is not published at this time, which adds to its value.<p>

(For a bit of history: John Haymson was both a fine artist and an illustrator of watercolors within architectural settings, which is why many of his works show scenes encircled by vignetted trees. He was born in Vienna, Austria in 1902 and began his art early.<p>

Studying at the renowned Academy of Fine Art in Vienna, he worked with Luigi Kasimir, one of the modern master etchers, and became his protogee. He also studied stage and costume design with Max Reinhart in Salzburg. He lectured in art and aesthetics at museums and colleges and conducted student group excursions to Europe and Mexico for sketching classes. His works often shows scenes through Europe, Asia, and America, in cities and public squares, or scenes of typical activities of people in a location.)
