The image shows a gondola parked on the side of a canal in Venice, Italy. The boat is black and has a red and gold canopy with intricate designs on it. The canopy is decorated with gold and red patterns and has two large horns on either side. The gondolier is leaning against a wooden post on the right side of the canal, and there is a brick wall on the left side. In the foreground, there is an ornate metal gate with a lion's head on it, which is likely part of the gondolas' decoration. The water is calm and there are a few buildings visible in the background.
