This is a small pen and ink drawing from my sketchbook (complete with coffee stains) I drew while exploring Venice, Italy. The city rests on 118 islands separated by 150 canals and 417 bridges and it is easy to get lost amongst the winding, labyrinthine streets and meandering canals. Venice was an independent republic for over 1,100 years until it became part of the Kingdom of Italy in 1866.
