Le Sidaner trained with the academic painter Alexandre Cabanel but went on to work in an intimiste, symbolist style that was also influenced by Neo-Impressionism. He was especially known for creating still, urban landscapes devoid of human figures. This small study employs the distinct pointillist dots of complementary colors that were a hallmark of Neo-Impressionism. Le Sidaner traveled to Venice in 1905 and thereafter created several views of Venice like this one of the Ducal Palace. In a practical and imaginative move, he utilized a cigar case as the panel upon which he painted.
