An original 18th-century engraving of the small town of Mestre near Venice, made by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground, at the centre of the work, is the canal, with its boats and the flights of steps leading up to the square, busy with carriages and passers-by in scenes of everyday life. On either side of the square the town unfolds with its palaces and shops. The sky is clear, but there are a few clouds on the horizon.
The engraving is undated; other variants of this work by Canaletto exist.
