The image captures a foggy winter scene in Venice, Italy, viewed from the Ponte degli Scalzi bridge looking southwest along the Grand Canal towards Piazzale Roma. In the immediate foreground, a light-grey stone balustrade with multiple arched openings spans the width of the frame, resting on dark, wet pavement. A partial view of a black shoe is visible on the pavement at the bottom right. The greenish-blue water of the Grand Canal flows beneath the balustrade. On the left bank of the canal, a multi-story building, identified by a sign as "Santa Chiara Hotel," displays red brickwork, numerous windows, and two chimneys. Below it, a section of quay features wooden mooring posts and a yellow float. Further along the left bank, a small dark structure is visible. On the canal itself, two white motorboats are present: one is actively moving towards the background, leaving a wake, while the other is stationary or moored closer to the right bank. The right bank of the canal features a paved pedestrian walkway (fondamenta) lined with leafless deciduous trees and dark streetlights. Several indistinct individuals are walking along this path. A large, light-colored building recedes into the fog further down this bank. In the mid-distance, the metallic arch structure of the Ponte della Costituzione (Calatrava Bridge) spans the canal, with several small figures visible on its deck. Beyond this bridge, a very large, light-colored, multi-story building is heavily obscured by the dense, uniform fog that dominates the upper two-thirds of the image, blending seamlessly with the overcast sky and significantly reducing visibility.
