A long reflecting canal or basin runs across the foreground with stepped fountains and sculptural water features set along its length. Numerous small figures in period dress occupy the terraces and walkways, some standing in groups, others strolling or gesturing, and a few seated by the water. The sky above is filled with layered, linear clouds and a small flock of birds. The overall image is rendered in fine, crosshatched lines and monochrome tones.
