The image shows a house with a partial shadow on its facade and distinct rooflines and chimneys. The horizon appears to merge into the upper structure of the house, blending with grayish tones of trees and sky. Brushstrokes are gentle and impressionistic. Two figures in dark attire, with one wearing a reddish coat, are walking in front of the house. The house's yard and surrounding trees extend into a diffused background. The color palette includes grays, browns, subtle greens, and washes of muted shades.
