Two Venetian Women (Italian Ladies) Ceramic Tile

This design features a painting by the Italian artist Eugene de Blaas (1843–1931). It depicts two women from the Italian city of Venice, in the northeastern region of Veneto. The women are smiling amorously at the viewer. One of the women has brown hair and the other has black hair; both women have curls of ringlets in their hair. They are wearing traditional Venetian dress. The lady on the left is holding a white rose and a pink rose in her hand, perhaps as a symbol of romantic love. The original art was painted in 1898.
