A narrow canal in Venice, Italy, is depicted under an overcast, light grey sky

A narrow canal in Venice, Italy, is depicted under an overcast, light grey sky. Multi-story historic buildings line both sides of the waterway. On the right, a light-colored, rusticated building exhibits dark window shutters and a balcony with white balusters. An architectural relief of a human head is situated above an arched window on this structure. A ground-level window is covered by a dark metal grid. Three yellow and blue striped mooring poles rise from the canal in front of this building, alongside a small wooden platform. The left bank is bordered by a series of buildings with reddish-brown and beige facades. These structures feature multiple windows, some with open or closed brown shutters, and one building includes a white stone balcony with balusters. The lower sections of the left bank walls show exposed brickwork and weathered plaster. A blue motorboat is moored along the left side. The dark, rippled canal water extends into the distance, where an arched stone bridge spans the waterway, and additional buildings are visible. An Italian flag (green, white, red vertical stripes) hangs from a building on the right bank further down the canal. No individuals or active human interactions are present in the scene.
