This watercolor shows a tall, narrow brick house with three floors of windows. A small child stands in the street in front, while another person walks near the door. Trees with autumn leaves lean over the house, and the sky is soft and pale. The paint is loose, with quick brushstrokes that leave some edges fuzzy. The artist focused on the house’s simple shapes and warm brick tones. The windows are empty, and the door stands slightly open, adding a quiet feel.
