Sewing the Sail

1896

Oil on canvas, 222 × 300 cm. Ca' Pesaro, International Gallery of Modern Art, Venice

Sun filtering through plants scatters hard-edged patches of light and shade across a white sail.

The sunlit patches on the sail are among the lightest values in the picture; the figures, largely in shade, stay readable against them.
