The canvas depicts the spectacular view of St. Mark's Basin with its iconic palaces and monuments. In the foreground is the majestic Doge's Palace, overlooked by the top of St. Mark's Campanile. Next are the two famous columns on the edge of the Piazza and the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana. In the background is the entrance to the Grand Canal with the silhouettes of the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute and the Dogana.
