An astounding painting of Venice by Swedish landscape painter Gustaf Wilhelm Palm. The Swedish born painter lived in Italy for many years and spent the winter between 1940 and 1941 in Venice, where he made sketches of the city that most certainly led to this painting. 

The wonderful thing about printed paintings on pocket squares is that they can produce a number of different effects depending on how they are folded and creates a great topic for conversation once pulled out of the breast pocket.
