"Questo dipinto è da considerarsi un abbozzo rappresentante uno scorcio di "Burano" lasciato incompiuto dal pittore veneziano Gino Rossi. E' un'interessante documento, che viene ad aggiungersi ad una serie di dipinti che l'artista eseguì a Burano, riproducendo lo stesso angolo di paesaggio: la chiesa, un gruppo di case, e un accenno di orti in primo piano che nei dipinti che si conoscono di questo soggetto diventano alberi e filari di vite." L. Menegazzi e C. Gian Ferrari
