'"On a Gondola (Venice)" is also noteworthy, by reason of the successful and somewhat original rendering of the sunlight sparkling on the canal and buildings.'
Jungman was a naturalised Englishman, but returned to Holland frequently and painted Dutch subjects for exhibition in London. His colourful, characterful pictures were described by one newspaper as a 'cross between the detail of Holbein and a Japanese print by Outamaro', in which even his most humble subjects - from precocious 'ragamuffins' to 'knitting maidens' - are drawn with great affection. This boy on a gondola, exhibited at the Dowdeswell Galleries in 1903, was admired in The Sketch for its 'original rendering of the sunlight sparkling on the canal and buildings.'
