An original and rare 18th-century view of the Riva degli Schiavoni, featuring some of the palazzi facing it, painted by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the quay of the Riva degli Schiavoni, busy with people and used as a landing stage for smaller boats, including gondolas. On the Grand Canal, many vessels of various sizes are sailing. The bell tower of St Mark's Square stands further back. The sky is slightly cloudy, shaded in light blue with pale pink for the clouds.
The painting, an oil on canvas, is dated 1724. Other variants of this work by Canaletto exist.
