Detailed Description
An urban scene features a winding canal under a light blue sky with scattered white clouds. The canal begins in the left foreground and extends into the distant background, flanked by multi-story buildings on both sides. Several small boats, some with figures, navigate the blue-green water. On the left bank, a few figures are visible, including one tending a small group of sheep. A tall, slender bell tower rises in the far distance on the left. In the central foreground, a large, light yellow building has a brown tiled roof and several tall chimneys. It features multiple windows with open brown shutters and a small balcony on the second floor where two figures are visible. A figure stands in the doorway on the ground floor. In front of this building, a dirt path or street is filled with activity. To the right of the central building, more multi-story buildings line the street, extending into the background. A prominent light-colored dome and another tall bell tower are visible in the mid-ground on the right. The street is populated by numerous figures wearing coats and dresses in colors such as red, blue, and white. Some figures are on horseback, including one in a red coat, while others walk or stand in groups. A horse-drawn carriage with two horses and a driver is positioned in the lower center. A striped awning, predominantly white and blue, hangs from a building on the far right. Green trees are interspersed among the buildings and along the canal banks.
