Baracchi sceglie una quieta assolata giornata per mostraci il Rio dei Mendicanti, al confine tra i sestieri di Cannaregio e Castello, e la Scuola di San Marco. Molti vedutisti veneziani come, per esempio, Francesco Guardi (Venezia 1712 - Venezia 1793) e Canaletto (Venezia 1712 - Venezia 1793) scelsero questo scorcio per i loro dipinti. Nel foglio le facciate degli edifici si affacciano a sinistra sul canale e chiudono la scena, indagati nei minimi particolari fanno da quinta teatrale e indirizzano lo sguardo dello spettatore verso il ponte del Cavallo e l'armoniosa facciata della Scuola istituita nel 1260. Il rio è una lunga fuga prospettica centrale, la luce gioca un ruolo decisivo nella composizione riflettendosi sulla superficie dell'acqua. A destra alcune figurette in ombra animano il campo. In basso oltre l'inciso a matita: Venezia Rio dei Mendicanti, numerazione 27/100 e firma. Impressione eccellente, dai neri intensi. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Ampi margini oltre la battuta del rame.
