Signed l.r.: Harry Morley

Watercolour over pencil, 25 by 20 cm (9 ¾ by 8 ins)

Most of Morley’s watercolours of Venice date from the 1910s when he was given the commission to paint a significant quantity of illustrations for the essayist E.V.Lucas’s travel narrative of the city A Wanderer in Venice, published just before the outbreak of war in 1914.
