The painting captures a view of the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy, from a vantage point near the entrance where the canal flows into the basin of San Marco.

Canaletto's mastery in rendering architectural details, the play of light and shadow, and the reflection of the buildings on the water's surface is evident in this artwork. The composition showcases the bustling activity of Venice's main waterway, featuring a variety of boats and gondolas that were central to the daily life and commerce of the city during the 18th century. The artist's use of atmospheric perspective also conveys the grandeur of the Venetian skyline, including the depiction of iconic structures such as the Santa Maria della Salute and the Doge's Palace.
