The image shows a two-story house surrounded by a garden. The perspective is at eye-level, looking down a garden path towards the house. The horizon is obstructed by the house and trees. The artwork has controlled brushstrokes, possibly using a watercolor technique, giving a soft texture. The color palette consists of pastel hues, including light greens for the grass, softer tones of purple for the house, dark green shrubs, and vibrant flowers. Flower beds with evergreen trees lead the eye towards the house and trees in the distance.
