Venice Charcoal

This is my latest art find. I wish I could read the name at the bottom. I found it at a resale shop labeled "small poster of Venice." The glass was cracked and when I asked them to keep the glass, so I wouldn't have to dispose of it, we realized that it was an original charcoal. I think I like it because most drawings/paintings of Venice are happy/pretty works, but this has an expressionistic quality about it and I would not call it happy. It's not quite sinister, but I do think it is moody and maybe even melancholy.
