The image presents a view of a narrow canal in Venice, Italy, specifically identified by a street sign as Rio Tera dei Nomboli. The scene is dominated by a pervasive, heavy fog that obscures distant details and creates a diffused light, rendering the sky a uniform grey. The canal water, a murky teal color with minor surface ripples, occupies the central and lower portions of the frame. No boats or people are visible within the canal. Along its edges, several dark wooden mooring poles are present, particularly on the right bank. On the left bank, a multi-story, weathered brick building rises, featuring an enclosed wooden balcony or loggia with multiple windowpanes and dark, intricate railings at the first-floor level. Below this, closer to the foreground, a small, brick-lined entrance with stone steps descends directly into the water, fronted by a partially visible dark gate or door. The lower section of the brick wall shows signs of algae or plant growth. The right bank is lined with a series of multi-story buildings in various states of repair. The closest building exhibits severely deteriorated, peeling plaster over visible brickwork. It features a combination of rectangular and arched windows; some are open with dark shutters, while others are secured with metal grates. A white rectangular street sign, clearly legible as "RIO TERA DEI NOMBOLI," is affixed to this building. Further down the canal, buildings of differing architectural styles and colors (including pale pink, grey, and beige facades) recede into the fog. Numerous chimneys are visible on the rooftops.
