Sargent is positioned himself just east of the Piazzetta at San Marco looking west. The domed building across the canal is the Santa Maria della Salute. The Libreria is straight ahead beyond the steps and bridge; and the front facade of the Palazzo Ducale is on the far right. Further west along the
Riva degli
Schiavoni he paints in oil. Notes:
