This painting originally formed part of a group gathered by King Frederick II of Prussia, one of the most important early collectors of Marieschi's work. It reprises one of Marieschi's most popular viewpoints, looking from the Ponte della Dogana across the Bacino to the Molo and the Palazzo Ducale. We see together from the left the Zecca, the Libreria, the Piazzetta and the Campanile, and to the right of the Ducal Palace, the Bridge of Sighs leading towards the Prison, with the Doge's barge, the Bucintoro at anchor.
