We see energetic figures unload cargo and row gondolas across the lagoon, all described with vibrant colour against a backdrop dominated by blue and brown tones. Guardi often positioned an elegant, white sail in the left foreground of his pictures to draw us into the scene (as in his The Punta della Dogana and Venice: The Doge’s Palace and the Molo). In the companion picture to this one, Venice: The Punta della Dogana, he used a boat’s spindly bare mast to the same effect.
