Santa Maria della Salute in Venice is featured faintly in the background . The etching primarily focuses on the figures on the bridge spanning the canal. As with watercolour, Knighton-Hammond is able to achieve the same spontaneity when sketching with his etching needle. He uses the speed of the drawing to give the figures movement.
