The ornamental design for a venetian blind, as shown and described.

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of venetian blind showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view;

FIG. 4 is a front elevational view with the slats in a closed position;

FIG. 5 is a front elevational view with the slats in a raised position;

FIG. 6 is a right side elevational view of FIG. 5;

FIG. 7 is a right side elevational view of FIG. 4;

FIG. 8 is a rear elevational view of FIG. 1;

FIG. 9 is a left side elevational view of FIG. 1;

FIG. 10 is a top plan view;

FIG. 11 is a bottom plan view; and,

FIG. 12 is an enlarged, cross-sectional view taken in the direction of arrows 8--8 in FIG. 2.

The characteristic features of our new design reside in the apperarance and configuration of the unperforated profiled headrail front surface without the need for a valence; the end caps having relatively thin edges mounted flush with the headrail front profiled surface and not overlapping the end of the rails; a cushioned bottom rail; and wherein each of the end caps and the bottom rail cushion have a surface texture contrasting to the surface texture of the blind slats, the headrail and the bottom rail.
