The image is a black-and-white drawing of a large square with buildings on either side. The buildings are multi-story and ornate, with many arches and columns. The building on the left has a balcony on the second floor, and a row of arches on the first floor. The building on the right is similar but appears to be more worn. The square is paved with stone tiles and filled with people dressed in 18th-century clothing. In the background, there is a body of water with boats and a cloudy sky. The overall atmosphere suggests a busy and vibrant scene in a historic city, likely Venice, given the title "Views of Venice". The image is titled "The Piazzetta" and attributed to Michele Marieschi.
