- Primary Object Classification
- Physical Description
- A large, two-story arched passageway leads from the foreground to a distant street. Viewed from the water of the canal that runs across the bottom of the image, the image concentrates on the dark barrel vault of the passage, the boats that occupy the foreground between the water and the walls of the building, and windows and balconies that animate the wall on either side of the archway.
- Subject Matter
- Whistler lived in the San Biagio area and the less frequented district of Venice provided him with rich subject material. The Glasgow catalogue raisonné identifies the arch as the Sotoportego de le Colone, San Bioagio, in Cannaregio, Venice.
