A finely painted oil on canvas by Vivian Bewick, depicting an atmospheric Venetian view of the Palazzo Ducale, one of the most celebrated architectural landmarks of Venice. The scene is animated by a solitary figure sweeping the piazza in the foreground — the evocative detail that gives rise to the title “The Man with the Broom” — lending quiet narrative interest and a sense of daily life to the historic setting.

The composition showcases Bewick’s accomplished handling of architectural detail, perspective, and warm tonal harmony, with the domes, colonnades, and decorative façades rendered in a restrained, classical palette inspired by 18th-century Venetian vedute painting. Softly diffused light and carefully balanced proportions give the work depth and elegance, while the subtle human presence provides scale and charm.

Signed by the artist to the lower right, the painting is presented in a swept gilt frame in the 18th-century style, which complements the subject beautifully and enhances its decorative appeal. The frame shows gentle surface wear consistent with age, adding to its character.
