This painting shows buildings at the edge of a river or canal. On the left, a gondola with a canopy floats on top of the water, carrying a person in a hat. Behind the boat, a bridge arches over the water, leading to pale-red and cream-colored buildings in the distance. More boats can be seen along the shore on the right. The brushstrokes in the painting are loose and fluid, and color palette consists of soft blues, grays, browns, and ochres. The water reflects the soft colors of the boats and buildings, as well as the pale gray of the sky.
