The smile and expectant expression suggest that it is a joyous occasion. The light painting style with its loose, dynamic application of color also supports this impression. Cecil van Haanen first studied at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, then at the academies in Karlsruhe and Munich, and from 1873 at the art academy in Venice, a city that would become his home for most of his life. In the paintings he produced there, he specialized in genre scenes and subjects taken from the lives of ordinary Venetian people following the example set by Ludwig Johann Passini.Paintinghttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/3158/rdf
