A view of the Grand Canal in Venice, with gondolas and a covered passenger boat crossing green water beneath towering cumulus clouds. Pink and ochre palazzi and a group of church domes line the right bank, while pale buildings recede along the left. Dark gondola hulls, window openings and shadowed arches hide the finder squares and carry the dark modules, with lighter water reflections and sky filling the gaps. Strong contrast between the black boats, brick facades and the pale sky keeps the pattern legible within the painted detail.
