This series of drawings shows various points along the Grand Canal. The drawings capture the canal’s busy atmosphere, with figures in gondolas, rowing boats and caorlinas (cargo boats). The drawings appear as if they have been drawn from a boat in the centre of the Grand Canal, with the buildings on each side converging to the horizon.

Viewed from a map or satellite view, the Grand Canal is a large reverse-S shape canal that passes through the centre of the city. The waterway is subject to twice daily tides. It is 3.8 km (2.4 miles) long, 30 to 90 m (98 to 295 ft) wide, with an average depth of 5 metres (16 feet).
The buildings are solidly constructed in rigorous perspective with regular patches of parallel hatching, contrasting with the rounded figures and boldly drawn boats in the foreground, the horizontal scribble of the water, and the varied hatching of the sky.
