The image displays a tranquil canal scene within Parco Sempione, Milan, Italy, observed on an overcast day during late autumn or winter. A narrow body of water, appearing as a canal or stream, occupies the central portion of the frame, flowing from the immediate foreground towards the distant background. The water surface exhibits ripples and reflections of the pale, overcast sky and the surrounding bare trees. On the left bank in the foreground, vibrant green, sword-like aquatic plants rise from the water's edge. The ground directly behind these plants is covered with a dense carpet of small, bright green ground cover, interspersed with patches of exposed soil and scattered brown leaves. A tree trunk, covered in greenish lichen, is visible on the far left. Two ducks are present in the water: a male Mallard duck, identifiable by its green head and white neck ring, swims towards the mid-right, while a second, darker duck is positioned further left in the mid-ground. Both banks of the canal are densely vegetated with mature trees, predominantly deciduous and bare of leaves, suggesting the season. Some trees, likely bald cypress, display reddish-brown foliage, indicating a coniferous species that sheds needles. On the far bank, a light-colored wooden bridge with dark railings spans the canal in the distant left. Beyond this bridge, a light-colored building with a dark roof is partially visible through the dense tree branches. Several individuals are present on the far bank: one person wearing a blue jacket is seated on a bench or low wall to the right of the bridge, while another person, also in a blue top, stands further right near a wooden fence that lines the bank. Additional indistinct figures are visible further to the right along the pathway on the far bank. The overall environment is characterized by natural elements and diffuse lighting.
