  • A group of women dressed in typical everyday clothes has gathered by the canal in Chioggia, haggling over prices with a pumpkin seller who is trading from his boat. An elegantly attired woman obliviously hurries past the scene and the dilapidated buildings. Rather than highlighting the contrast between rich and poor, Ludwig Johann Passini was more concerned to capture an idyllic snapshot moment. The Viennese watercolorist is renowned for such colorful genre scenes from Italian, especially Venetian, daily life. After many years in Rome and in Germany, he moved to Venice in 1873.
