The image is a black and white drawing of a rustic house viewed straight on. The house is set in a flat landscape, flanked by trees on both sides. The drawing is detailed, with cross-hatching used for texture and shadows on the trees and house. The color scheme is monochromatic, with varying shades of black and gray. Vegetation or ground cover is seen in the foreground, leading the eye to the house with multi-paned windows and a partially open door. In the background, the upper part of the house and sky are depicted.
