Artist

The image shows a stereoscopic view of a canal scene captured from a low angle along the water's edge. Tall buildings line the horizon, with the tops shrouded by a soft haze. Multiple arches of a bridge span the canal. Close to the viewer, a stone quay stretches along the left side with mooring bollards and ropes. Boats are moored along the canal's edge, their reflections in the water. Trees without leaves stand to the left. The color palette is muted with soft grays and blues.
