Artist, Canadian, 1876 - 1938

The image shows a canal with buildings alongside it, seen from a slightly elevated angle. The canal stretches into the distance, passing a small arched bridge. Both sides of the canal are lined with buildings displaying brick and stonework, balconies, and arched windows. The reflections of the buildings can be seen on the water. The artwork is created in an etching style, using fine lines and hatching techniques to depict the textures of the buildings and foliage. The color scheme is monochromatic, focusing on sepia tones. Boats are seen moored close by, and the bridge in the distance connects the two sides of the canal.
