A masterpiece oil painting of a scene of Venice with streets filled with masked revellers in the style of Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch
A wide shot oil painting depicting a Venetian cityscape with a masked carnival crowd in the foreground and a canal with gondolas in the background. The buildings are multi-storied with arched windows and stone facades. In the foreground, numerous individuals are dressed in historical 18th-century Venetian carnival attire, including Bauta masks, often white, covering the entire face, and traditional tricorn hats. Some figures wear conical hats, and others have capes and period clothing in reds, blues, browns, and whites. Many of the masks have distinct nose-like protrusions or are bird-like. Some individuals are holding objects like baskets or what appears to be a pipe. In the midground, a canal system is visible with several gondolas being rowed by gondoliers. A stone bridge arches over the canal, and buildings line both sides, extending into the distance. A tall bell tower is visible in the background, rising above the other structures. The sky is partially cloudy with a blue hue. The overall atmosphere is lively with many people interacting. A balcony with people on it can be seen above the crowd on the left. The architectural details are ornate with columns, arches, and balustrades.
