This print shows a distorted wooden structure. The structure has a slanted roof and walls made of horizontally aligned planks. A small flight of stairs leads to a doorway on the left side. Windows with multiple panes can be seen. In the distance, another smaller structure is visible to the left of the main building, on top of a hill or mound. The horizon is not distinctly visible, as the sky and land blend into one another. The artwork is with thick black lines on beige paper.
