Off-season in Venice

The promenade in Venice on a winter evening. Gondolas are not in demand, they are tied up in parking lots. Wrought-iron antique lanterns illuminate the empty embankments. Yachts moored in the distance. Everything is waiting for better times. The painting, according to the artists idea, gives hope that all the hardships will pass and summer will come again, the weather will be fine, the embankments will be filled with happy people.
