In front of the cathedral that are lining the canal on both sides are reddish-brown buildings with tan and yellow stonework that have stairs that sit on the waters edge; with some people waiting on them until a gondola can give them a ride.

There are many gondolas on the waterway as well as many small sail boats; and to the left front of the scene is a stone tiled pier with four gondolas tied in; as well as men and women standing on it and going about the routines of daily life.

Gustaf began his main studies in art with Swedish Painter Anders Arvid Arvidsson (1786 – 1831) who lived in Lund, Sweden; who taught him drawing.

On Arvidsson recommendation was able to do some work for the Swedish botanist Carl Adolph Agardh (1785 – 1859); producing illustration for a book on European Algae.

After completion of this work he attended the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, located in Stockholm, Sweden; and supported himself by creating illustrations; especially for the Swedish zoologist and archaeologist Sven Nilsson (1787 – 1883)

His early landscape paintings were in the romantic style and showed an influence of Swedish Painter Carl Johan Fahlcrantz (1774 – 1861); but after a trip to Norway in 1833 with Swedish Count, Soldier and Politician Michael Gustaf Anckarsvärd (1742 – 1838); he came under the influence of Danish-Norwegian Painter Johan Christian Dahl (1788 – 1857); who is considered to be the first great romantic painter in Norway; he began to paint landscapes in a more realistic manner.
