The composition is carefully constructed to lead the viewer's eye through a series of gondolas and other vessels that populate the foreground, towards the majestic Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale) in the distance. The palace, a symbol of Venetian power and splendor, is rendered with meticulous attention to its Gothic architectural details.

Canaletto's work is characterized by its use of perspective and light to enhance the depth and realism of the scene. The artist often employed a camera obscura to achieve accurate proportions and perspective, a technique that contributed to the lifelike quality of his paintings.
