The scene depicts a bustling harbor, filled with gondolas and boats, while the distant cityscape of Venice, including the Doge's Palace, rises above the shimmering water.

The painting reflects the artist's fascination with the grandeur of nature and his ability to capture the romantic allure of European landscapes.
