Views: The Canal Lock at Dolo

Antonio Canaletto

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white etching of a canal lock scene. A tall, stone building with a tiled roof and a small balcony stands on the left. A stone bridge spans a canal, leading to another building behind. A large stone wall on the right features a smaller canal lock with a boat. Several people are present in the scene: a woman in a long dress walks near the foreground with three children; a man in a long coat and hat stands on the right; a person tends to a basket on a stand on the left. A dog is also visible. The background features several buildings with tiled roofs and chimneys. Trees and a cloudy sky are visible in the distance. The overall scene showcases a canal lock at Dolo, with people engaging in daily activities.
