Tied to two red-and-white striped mooring posts, a small wooden rowing boat rests beside a stone embankment, its brown hull worn by years of use. Most of the picture is given to the canal itself, a broad sheet of teal broken into ripples that carry the peach and rose of the facades across the water. Farther along, the buildings fade into a pale, hazy distance.

Calm and uncluttered, it works beautifully in a bedroom or above a desk in a home office, where it rewards a slow look. Counted among the nine paintings of a quiet canal district in the Venetian Quiet collection, it pairs beautifully with Palazzo on Still Water and Bend in the Canal.
