This image captures a gondola navigating a canal in Venice, Italy, specifically along the Rio di Ca' Foscari, with the office of the "Società Italiana degli Autori ed Editori" (SIAE) visible on the left bank. In the foreground, a dark-colored gondola with ornate gold accents on its hull moves from right to left across the frame. The water is a green-blue, with subtle ripples reflecting light. A male gondolier, standing at the stern of the gondola, faces forward, holding a long oar in his right hand. He wears a blue and white striped t-shirt and dark trousers, and is gesturing with his left hand, appearing to be speaking. Three passengers are seated in the mid-section of the gondola. A young male passenger on the left wears a striped t-shirt and glasses, looking forward. Another passenger, to his right, wears a blue top and looks to the right. A third, partially obscured passenger is behind the second. On the canal's right bank, a tall, reddish-orange building dominates the mid-ground. It features multiple rectangular windows with dark green shutters and white trim outlining the windows and floor levels. An upper-floor balcony displays an Italian flag and a European Union flag. The ground level includes stone pilings extending into the water. Immediately to its left, a distinct light yellow/cream-colored building is visible. This building's ground floor features a section with columns and the prominent inscription "SOCIETA ITALIANA DEGLI AUTORI ED EDITORI". Its upper floors contain tall, narrow windows, some with small balconies. Further left, an orange-hued building with smaller windows extends down the canal. Blue and white striped mooring poles (briccole) are visible in the water near the canal banks, including one prominently positioned near the gondolier. The sky above is clear and light blue, suggesting daytime or early evening.
