This painting depicts a while villa partially hidden by greenery. The villa has several buildings on different levels with small windows and reddish-brown roofs. The brushstrokes are loose and broad, giving the image a blurred effect. The trees are dark green, with some streaks of brown and yellow. The sky is a mix of blues with hints of lavender and peach.
