From the watercolour signature we know this canal scene would have been painted soon after Knighton-Hammond arrived in Venice in 1922. The buildings and campanile would have been drawn in watercolour direct with the brush. The perspective is accurate and the figures in the foreground and on the bridge give spontaneity, movement and colour to the composition.
