The oil painting captures a vibrant scene of Venice, featuring a canal lined with historic buildings. The composition includes gondolas floating on the water, reflecting the architecture and the sky. The buildings are painted in warm hues of pink, orange, and brown, and their facades show a mix of arched windows and balconies. The water in the canal reflects the colours and movements, adding a dynamic feel to the painting. The sky is depicted in a rich blue with soft, wispy clouds, suggesting a bright, clear day. The frame is ornate and multi-layered, with an outer border in gold, a middle layer in a distressed white finish, and an inner edge that complements the colours within the artwork.
