Sketchbook 3, Image 8

This image is from Parsons' time abroad in Venice. It adopts a style that is a mix of her later genre scenes, such as the ship in port at the beginning of this sketchbook and her landscapes from the first sketchbook. This is likely a result of Parsons using her sketches as a form of a diary or as documenting the places that she visits. It is set apart from earlier sketches as the focus has shifted from depicting all elements with equal fidelity to selectively making the most impactful elements naturalistic while letting the other elements blend together.
