Description: | A Venetian plaza with crowds of figures. There is an ornate building to the left with a facade of slender columns and gothic arches. The top of the building is decorated with a row of finials. A large crowd of figures is gathered outside this building. There are two crumbling stone pillars to the left foreground; the pillars are square and are decorated with incised designs. There are two men standing beside these columns. To the right midground are two classical columns, each one supporting a statue. There is a winged horse on the left column and a standing figure on the right. An expanse of water can be seen in the background with buildings in the far distance.
