The image depicts a side view of a thatched-roof house, positioned slightly off-center to the right, with a small church tower visible in the background to the left. The horizon line is obscured, as the foreground and background blend seamlessly with the house occupying most of the scene. The brushstrokes give a sense of texture and detail to the thatched roof, with fine lines and shading indicating the materials and structure. The sketch is monochromatic, primarily using varying shades of gray to convey depth and form, creating a subtle contrast between the building and the surrounding elements like the faintly sketched trees and the indistinct sky behind.

The image shows a rustic structure on sturdy pillars emerging from a body of water. The viewpoint is slightly elevated, focusing on the wooden building situated atop the stone support. The horizon is not distinctly visible. The style features textured brushstrokes capturing the roughness of the materials, with a color palette of soft browns and tans blending with the water's reflection. The background shows distant, barely discernible landforms.
