Lucia Ponga degli Ancillo (Venice 1887 - 1966) - Venetian Caprice with Jetty, Gondola, and Figures. 25 x 35 cm (unframed) - 44.5 x 55 cm (framed). Oil on panel, in a carved and gilded wooden frame. Artwork signed lower left: "L. Ponga". Lucia Ponga degli Ancillo trained in the Venetian artistic environment at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, cultivating a landscape and lagoon view painting of 19th-century origin. The oil on panel depicts a lagoon bank with a porticoed building and a bell tower on the left, cypresses and trees in the center, and a jetty animated by figures of common people engaged in their daily activities. In the foreground, a gondola with a gondolier; in the background, sailboats open to the lagoon. The figures refer to the Guardi repertoire, treated with a loose and vibrant brushstroke and a bright palette dominated by the greens and blues of the sky and water.
