The image shows a gondola with passengers being propelled along a canal in Venice, Italy. The gondolier, wearing a black jacket and a shirt with red and white stripes, stands at the rear of the boat using a long pole to navigate the waterway. Several passengers are seated in the gondola. The canal is bordered by buildings of brick and stone, some with balconies and awnings. One of the buildings has a sign reading "FONTE S. STIV," which refers to the Fontego dei Turchi, a historic palace. A small bridge crosses the canal in the background. Other boats are moored along the canal's edge. The sky is partly cloudy.
