The drawing shows a two-story house with trees framing it. The horizon is suggested by the base of the trees and the rooftop of the house. The highest elements are the roof of the house and tall trees. The drawing features delicate pencil strokes, capturing details like the roof's shingles and foliage. The monochromatic palette of various grays gives a serene feel. In the background, more trees and the sky are visible, while foliage and a pathway are hinted at in the foreground.
