A vertically oriented etching in brown ink depicts a massive church beside a canal. Fine hatching details two rounded domes, the largest topped with a statue, and an ornate facade centered in the frame. In the lower foreground, horizontal squiggly lines define dark water reflecting the structure. Several flat-bottomed boats cluster at stone steps. To the right, a multi-story building stands near the water's edge under a hazy, cross-hatched sky.
