This painting shows a quiet canal in Venice. The water reflects the buildings on either side, with a few boats tied up along the shore. The scene is depicted in dark, muted colors. In the foreground, a figure stands in a boat, looking out at the viewer. The buildings in the background are old and worn, with crumbling stone walls and terracotta roofs. The overall effect is one of serenity and calm. The painting is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
