The image shows a view from the water of buildings and boats in Venice. The Doge's Palace and the Campanile di San Marco stand out against a horizon of buildings. The style is detailed with sketched lines showing movement in the sky and water. The color palette is black and grey. Several gondolas and sailing vessels are seen in the water, with the sails contrasting the buildings. Sketch-like clouds fill the sky.
