Under the arches of a Venetian bridge, two masked silhouettes emerge from the night. Their shimmering costumes blend into the green and blue reflections of the canals, where the light seems to vibrate. The painter P. Caroll captures here the essence of the Carnival of Venice with an expressive, almost musical gesture that weaves together mystery, emotion, and lyrical abstraction. Details of the work: Artist: P. Caroll (signature in the lower right) Suggested title: Masquerade in Venice Period: circa 1960–1970 Technique: oil on canvas Dimensions without frame: 38 × 46.5 cm (15 × 18.3 in) Dimensions with frame: 47 × 56 cm (18.5 × 22 in) Frame: antique molded frame with a golden patina Condition: excellent overall condition Palette: shades of cobalt blue, emerald green, gold, and deep ochre Style: modern expressionism with impasto brushwork About the artist: The painter P. Caroll remains a little-documented artist, likely active in the 1950s–1970s in France or Italy. His style, vibrant and dreamlike, evokes post-cubist and expressionist trends: structured compositions, plays of light, and stylized silhouettes. A few similar works occasionally appear on the European art market, particularly with Venetian or carnival themes. Type: Oil Country of origin: France Features: On canvas
