An original, luminous perspective view of an 18th-century portico, made by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the portico, with its handsome columns seen in perspective. We are in a wing of a large palace, glimpsed further back. Beneath the portico are scenes of everyday life. The portico is lit by the light of the morning sun. The sky is clear with a few white clouds on the horizon.
The painting, an oil on canvas, is dated 1765. Two other variants of this work by Canaletto exist.
