This watercolor shows two small wooden houses on a grassy, slightly muddy field. One has a thatched roof, the other a mix of wood and metal. A man stands near the first house, looking toward a small boat flipped upside down on the ground. A blue cart sits beside the second house, and a few tools and broken fences lie scattered around. The artist used soft, muted colors to show the quiet, worn-down feel of the place. The houses look old and simple, like they’ve been there for a long time.
