Vintage Framed Venice Canal Scene Print by E.T.

Framed Venice Canal Scene Print – After Edgar Chahine – Marked “E.T.” – Small Artwork 5" x 2.75"

This framed artwork depicts a quiet Venetian canal scene with a bridge, gondola, and laundry strung between buildings. The style closely resembles the Venice etchings of Edgar Chahine (1874–1947), a French-Armenian artist known for his finely detailed prints of European cityscapes.

The piece is marked “E.T.” in the lower corner. This does not match Chahine’s authentic signature and is likely from a publisher’s or printer’s attribution. Given the small size and lack of plate impression, this appears to be a **vintage reproduction print or book plate** inspired by Chahine’s work, rather than a hand-pulled etching.
