EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Venice in 1898, showcasing a group of lacemakers immersed in their craft. Created by Maurice Brazil Prendergast, an American artist, this watercolour and pencil on paper artwork beautifully depicts the scene with intricate details and vibrant colors. The composition showcases a medium-sized group of women sitting outside on steps, engrossed in their work. Their traditional attire adds to the charm of the image, as they skillfully create delicate lace pieces. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing not only the lacemakers' posture but also their friendly companionship. Set against a backdrop of Venetian architecture and lush greenery, this artwork transports us back to late 19th-century Italy. The soft lighting suggests that it may be daytime, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. Prendergast's mastery shines through his use of both watercolor and pencil techniques. His signature can be seen at the bottom corner along with the date - 1898 - marking this piece as one from his early career. This remarkable print offers viewers a glimpse into Venetian life during this time period while celebrating traditional craftsmanship and human connection. It serves as a testament to Prendergast's talent for capturing intimate moments within bustling cityscapes.
