Though none of the figure studies contained in the present sheet correspond precisely with any of Sargent's painted works, there are two closely related oils - Street in Venice in the collection of the National Gallery of Art,1 Washington, D.C., and A Street in Venice at the Clark Art Institute,2 in which Sargent includes similarly rakish looking figures. Another stylistically comparable sheet of studies which can be connected in part to the Clark painting was sold in these rooms in 2004.3
