This sketch shows a small brick building with a thatched roof leaning slightly to one side. A tree with thick green leaves hangs over the left side, casting shadows. The ground is grassy, and a small bush sits near the corner of the house. A dark wooden door stands open, revealing a shadowy space inside. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to capture light and texture, especially on the thatch and leaves. The open door creates a sense of depth, drawing your eye inside.
