The image shows a single-story wooden structure with a straight-on viewpoint showing the roofline parallel to the top edge of the image. The house is on the right, featuring vertical wooden slats and a partially open doorway revealing the interior with exposed walls marked by dark spots. Beside the house on the left is an empty bathtub on the ground. A faint horizon crosses the middle, dividing the scene into two sections — barren land in the foreground and open sky above. A lone tree can be seen in the distance, breaking the flat landscape. The photo is monochromatic, depicting various shades of grey that emphasize the emptiness and texture of the scene.
