Frank Duveneck loved Venice and spent several months there during the early decades of his career. Titled The Venetian Girl , this painting depicts a young woman—likely an artist’s model—who holds a shallow brass bowl containing lemons and grapes. The artist was also an esteemed art instructor, teaching hundreds of students in Germany, Italy, and the United States.
