The image shows a watercolour painting of a white, square dovecote with a dark roof and a small door at the bottom. The dovecote is surrounded by trees and a low wall, with a larger building in the background. The sky above is light blue with white clouds. The painting is done in a simple, yet detailed style, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The colours are muted, with shades of green, brown, and grey dominating the scene. This painting is reminiscent of the work of the artist Hilder.
