Description
A lively work by Diana Armfield, exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 2010. Painted in Venice, the scene captures a sunlit square animated by loosely observed figures set against the warm façades of the surrounding buildings. With light, confident brushwork, Armfield conveys the passing movement and quiet theatre of everyday life in the city.
