The image shows a two-story brick house from ground level. The scene is depicted using etching technique characterized by fine lines creating texture and shading, notably visible in the trees surrounding the house. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of black, gray, and white. A lamppost and tree shadows are present in the foreground, while a railing and steps are partially obscured by shadows on the right. Trees in the background add depth to the composition.
