Misty brown etching of Venice lagoon with a domed church silhouette on the shore and small boats with masts on rippled water.

Nocturne: Salute

A soft, misty etching of the Venice lagoon in hazy half-light, with the domed silhouette of a church and tall campanile rising on the left-centre shore. Small boats with masts sit on the rippled water in the foreground, and faint horizontal strokes suggest reflections in muted brown-grey ink.

Español: Nocturno: Salute, aguafuerte de la laguna de Venecia

Un aguafuerte suave y brumoso de la laguna de Venecia en una penumbra neblinosa, con la silueta de una iglesia con cúpula y un campanario alto sobre la orilla central izquierda. Pequeñas barcas con mástiles reposan sobre el agua rizada en primer plano, y trazos horizontales tenues sugieren reflejos en tinta marrón grisácea.

Português: Noturno: Salute, água-forte da lagoa de Veneza

Uma água-forte suave e enevoada da lagoa de Veneza em meia-luz nebulosa, com a silhueta de uma igreja com cúpula e um campanário alto na margem central esquerda. Pequenos barcos com mastros repousam na água ondulada em primeiro plano, e traços horizontais tênues sugerem reflexos em tinta marrom-acinzentada.
