About the painting

Eugene Vail made several trips to Venice and was fascinated by its rich colors, unique architecture, and exotic citizens. Along the Riva shows two women strolling along the canal, with gondolas in the background. Their elegant clothing and serene expressions evoke the relaxed, luxurious lifestyle of American tourists in Europe.
