This painting shows an old man sitting in a chair outside a small house. He's wearing a green robe and has white hair. The house has a dark doorway and a sloping roof. There are flowers and plants around him, and a few trees in the background. The sky is light with a yellow sun. The old man looks sad or tired. He's sitting with his hands on his lap, and his head is slightly down. The flowers and plants around him are colorful, but they don't seem to be cheering him up. The house behind him is simple, but it looks cozy. The artist of this painting is Charles Burchfield.
