The image shows an urban residential scene. The perspective is slightly elevated, looking down into a courtyard surrounded by ornate iron railings. There is a set of steps leading up to a doorway on the left, bordered by wrought iron railing. The painting captures the building's architecture in fine detail, including the brickwork and ironwork. Flower boxes hang from windows with colorful blooms. The color palette includes warm terracotta, cool greens, and beige, with darker iron details. Green branches are seen at the right edge of the image.
