This vintage Impressionist oil painting by Swedish artist Knut Norman (1896–1977) depicts a Venetian harbor scene with figures, sailboats, and historic buildings. The composition captures the daily life and movement of the waterfront, with expressive brushstrokes and a rich color palette reflecting the atmosphere of the city.

Painted in a bold impasto style, this piece is likely from the 1960s, a period when Norman frequently painted scenes from southern Europe. The artwork features deep blues, warm earth tones, and bright accents, adding depth and contrast to the scene.

The painting is framed in its original simple wooden frame with a canvas band, typical of the era. A characteristic piece of mid-century Scandinavian fine art, ready to display.
