This black-and-white image shows a simple courtyard with a thatched-roof building. The walls are rough, with small windows and a door. A few chickens scratch the ground, and a wheelbarrow sits empty in the corner. The scene looks quiet, almost still. The artist used soft lighting to show texture—notice how the thatch and walls look almost three-dimensional. This style matches the Realism movement, which focused on everyday life.
