About this work

This painting shows two simple houses side by side. The one on the left is small, with a dark door and peeling paint. The one on the right is taller, with white walls and big windows—some of them open. A tree stands behind them, and the sky is a pale blue. The brushstrokes are loose, almost like quick sketches. The colors are muted, with browns and grays blending together. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow.
