A black gondola moves from left to right across the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy, during dusk. The scene is located near the Rialto Bridge, with the Rialto Mercato Vaporetto stop visible on the right. A male gondolier, dressed in a horizontal striped shirt and dark pants, stands at the stern, actively propelling the gondola with a long wooden oar. Four passengers are seated within the gondola: an adult male with a beard in a white shirt, holding a glass; an adult female in a white and pink patterned top; and two children further back. A container or cooler is visible between the adult passengers. To the right, a yellow and green Vaporetto (water bus) stop structure, labeled "Rialto," is docked. In the background, on the right bank, the multi-story Palazzo dei Camerlenghi, a light-colored building with numerous windows and a distinctive frieze, is prominent. On the left bank, another Venetian palazzo with arched windows and light facade lines the canal. The sky is a light, overcast blue-grey. The canal water is rippled and reflects ambient light sources from the surrounding structures.
