A horizontally oriented watercolor and graphite drawing depicts a dark-roofed farmhouse nestled behind a cluster of trees with dense, green and brown dashes as foliage. In the foreground, broad horizontal shadows stretch across a pale green field. To the right, a spindly tree reaches toward a hazy blue sky rendered in thin, light washes. Graphite lines sketch the building's form in the middle ground, while the sky fills the upper half.
