The painting depicts the Rialto Market with thebell tower of San Giacomo di Rialto in the background, stalls selling flowers, fruit,and vegetables, and a lively crowd of vendors and shoppers. The brushwork isloose and impasto-like, in the Post-Impressionist style, with evident texturallayers in the floral arrangements and awnings. The palette is dominated by greens, reds, andpearlescent grays in diffused light, typical of the lagoon.
On the reverse: label from "La Galeried’Art” in Mulhouse and Strasbourg (no. 5247) with a handwritten noteidentifying the artist as “painter of genre scenes, portraits, andlandscapes, born in Venice” and noting his membership in the SociétéNationale des Beaux-Arts and the Salon des Indépendants.
