This view of Venice, drawn from one of the islands in the Lagoon, suggests the illusion of a city floating on the water, with the buildings on the horizon as the only division between the vast expanses of sea and sky. The theme of a floating city was explored by Whistler in both his day and night views in the Venice series of etchings. (See also GLAHA 46797/ 49961).
