A horizontally oriented etching in black and gray lines depicts a canal scene under a vast, cloud-filled sky. In the center, a large sailboat sits on calm water, casting a dark reflection. To the left, low buildings line the shore behind small rowboats. On the right, masted boats dock along a grassy bank. Fine cross-hatching provides texture throughout. In the top left, text reads "APPIAN 1872".
