The image shows a canal scene with buildings lining the water's edge. The horizon is not prominent but indicated by rooftops of buildings in the distance. The intricate etching-style illustration features detailed lines and cross-hatching for texture. The monochromatic color palette creates contrast. There are small boats near the water's edge and two figures, a man and a woman, seated in one boat. The composition conveys the lively atmosphere of a waterside community.
