This is an attractive engraving of the Grand Canal in Venice. The inscription below the engraving shows "the Convent of St. Clare, with the Church of the barefooted Carmelites on one side, and on the other the Church of St. Simon and St. Jude." In the canal are numerous gondolas and a few ships in the background.
