Very nice vintage original watercolor painting of a gondolier in one of the many Venice canals.  Signed A. Scarpa.  The work is well composed and nicely executed.  Includes some places where the original pencil quick sketch is visible (see photos).  The back includes a label indicating it was framed by Auch's Art Store. In my research I found historical references for Auch's from the 1910's and 1920's and other paintings by the artist that were believed to be from the 1930s, so this work is most likely about 100 years old.
