The image is a frontal view of a folk art piece. The horizon is implied by the base of the house and the ground lines. The brushstrokes mimic the style of embroidery, using small lines to form patterns and figures like trees and the house. The color palette consists primarily of earthy tones and accents of red and pink. The background features a grid of small black dots.
