An original 18th-century view of Cannaregio in Venice by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the canal, busy with boats of various sizes. The water is painted in shades of green and light blue. Further back is the three-arched bridge joining the two banks. On the bank (fondamenta) on the right of the painting are scenes of everyday life and washing hung out in the sun. On the opposite side the palazzi are in shadow. The sky is clear with a few white clouds on the horizon.
The painting, an oil on canvas, is undated and is part of a private collection. Canaletto painted other variants of this work.
