DescriptionFramed. Image of an Italian gondolier paddling a gondola underneath an arched bridge. The image is a popular representation of a Venetian gondolier - in a striped shirt and wide-brimmed hat - and a tranquil river scene in Venice, Italy. While there is no written record of Sugimoto visiting Italy, we can assume as proof of the image that he had made a trip to Italy, most likely during his stay in France (1934-35).
