This watercolour painting shows a large, old building with a steeply pitched roof. The building has many windows and a balcony on the front. It looks like it might be falling apart. The painting is done in muted colours, with lots of greys and browns. The artist has used strong lines to show the shapes of the building and its details. The overall effect is one of age and decay.
