The image is an etching of a narrow canal scene. The perspective is elevated, showing the buildings on either side of the water. The architecture features ornate facades with arched windows and balconies. The etching lines are fine and sketch-like. The color palette is primarily sepia. A gondolier is navigating a gondola in the foreground, with the water reflecting the scene. The canal narrows in the distance between the receding buildings.
