A deep covered passageway dominates the composition. At the near end of the passage, to the right side, stand a woman and young girl, both with heads covered and looking at the viewer. Looking down the passageway, light catches the timbered ceiling and figures can be seen walking at the far end, silhouetted against the bright light in the square or street beyond. A lantern hangs above the entrance at the near end of the passage.

A sweeping panorama shows a city and shipping along the water. The left side is more minutely described as large three-story buildings hug the water's edge. Just to the right of center is a large building with several domes. Several small boats and gondolas are visible to the left of center. A cloudy and blustery sky occupies the top of the image.

Long Venice, One of the 'Twenty-six Etchings,' or the 'Second Venice Set'

Bequest of Margaret Watson Parker

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 print, the composition 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.

This image shows structures and their reflections in the water, drawn largely through clusters of vertical lines. To the right in the distance are the masts of ships; at the right center is a small boat. More sketchily rendered are buildings or perhaps piers at the left of the image.

Seen frontally is a building along a canal. In front of the facade is a brick or cobble pavement; steps lead up to a triple doorway entrance while laundry and windows complete the second story. To either side of the central steps are doorways that lead down. In each of the doorways and on the pavement are grouped figures of women and children. The lower portion of the print shows the reflections of the building and figures.
