The image is a close-up, vertical oil painting depicting a canal scene with buildings. The architecture suggests a European city, possibly Venice, with tall, narrow buildings lining a waterway. Red-tiled roofs are visible, as are windows with what appear to be flower boxes. The water reflects the buildings and the sky, which is painted in shades of blue with white clouds. Two gondola-like boats are present in the foreground, one with two upright poles, one red and one blue and white. The brushstrokes are thick and impressionistic, giving the painting a textured appearance. There are no people depicted in the painting. The scene is rendered in a somewhat muted color palette, with earthy tones dominating the buildings and darker shades in the water. The city of Homyel, Belarus is not represented in this image.
