La peinture dépeint un intérieur historique qui ressemble à un palais ou à un théâtre à l'architecture ornée. De hautes colonnes et des arcades voûtées dominent l'espace avec de multiples galeries et couloirs. Le plafond ondulé présente une ouverture centrale qui ressemble à un dôme. Le tableau est éclairé par de nombreux lustres. Le sol représente des personnages en costumes d'époque, peut-être du 18e ou du 19e siècle, ce qui suggère qu'il pourrait s'agir d'un événement social ou d'une réunion.

Canaletto (1697-1681) was born in Venice. He, along with his brother, learned painting from his father. He started as a painter of theatrical backdrops. In his free time, he painted everyday urban life. When he left his father’s workshop, he went to Rome for inspiration. There, he perfected his fondness for painting architectural elements. This can be seen in the detailed Baroque paintings of Venice, where he captured Venice in the period of its greatest beauty and glory. Thanks to the merchant Joseph Smith, Canaletto’s paintings were sold even in England. However, in 1740, the war disrupted the market and a the flurry of British tourists traveling to Venice decreased. This prompted Canaletto to travel to London to keep his clientele. However, English critics described his work as repetitive, and he was labelled a fraud. He did not manage to fix his and so he returned to Venice, where he became a member of the Academy of Arts and painted until his death in 1768.
