In the foreground workers deal with fish, barrels of wine or beer and sacks of grain amid dogs, children playing and adults performing various tasks or conversing.

Domenico Lovisa (1690-1750) was an Italian engraver and publisher. His publication 'Il gran Teatro di Venezia, ovvero raccolta delle principali vedute e pitture che in essa si contengono', contained 122 topographical views of Venice. It was commissioned by a group of Venetian aristocrats who were proud of their city and may have been motivated by an interest in promoting commerce and tourism.
