Capriccio: A Palace with a Courtyard by the Lagoon

Antonio Canaletto

Cleveland Museum of Art

Large, ornate building with a courtyard and a lagoon. The building has two stories with columns and sculptures on top. A large archway leads to a courtyard with steps. The courtyard is paved with stone. A man in a white shirt and hat stands on the right with a basket. A woman in a white dress sits on a bench on the left. There are trees and bushes around the courtyard. A body of water, possibly a lagoon or a sea, is on the left with a dock and a boat. The sky is cloudy and gray. The image is rendered in shades of gray, white, and brown.
