The image depicts a narrow Venetian canal at dawn or dusk, in Venice, Italy. The sky transitions from light blue at the zenith to a warm golden-yellow at the horizon, casting a long, shimmering reflection on the dark, rippled canal water. Multi-story buildings, typical of Venetian architecture, line both sides of the waterway, their facades primarily in silhouette. On the left, a large, ornate building with reddish-brown walls features a distinctive white balustraded balcony and multiple arched windows. Striped mooring poles are visible at the water's edge in the foreground. On the right, a building with a reddish hue displays several rectangular windows, one of which on an upper floor emits a soft, amber light. A dark, small boat, possibly a gondola, is moored against the right bank in the middle distance. No people are visible. Rooftops are punctuated by multiple chimneys and a television antenna is discernible on the rightmost building. The scene is devoid of visible human activity.
