The painting's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the viewer closer to the breathtaking beauty of the Irish landscape.

The painting also features a few boats and figures, adding a sense of activity and life to the otherwise peaceful scene. The painting's historical significance lies in its depiction of a time when the construction of canals was a significant engineering feat, connecting previously isolated bodies of water and facilitating transportation and communication. The canal between the Lakes of Killarney was one of the earliest canals in Ireland, and Fisher's painting captures it at its most picturesque and idyllic. Overall, "A View of the Canal between the Lakes of Killarney" is a stunning representation of the natural beauty of Ireland and a testament to Fisher's artistic talent.
