A view down a canal in Venice which is crowded with boats. Buildings tower over the canal, and a bridge arches across the centre of the etching. Men working throughout create a feeling of movement. The crowding of the image provides a sense of the industry at work on the canals. The tower on the right is the Campo Santi Apostoli. Signed by the artist.
