This painting shows a two-story yellow building with a curved roof. The walls are plain, and the windows are tall and narrow. Inside the open doorway, a few people stand in shadow. The ground slopes down in front of the house, with patches of grass and a few bushes. The sky is pale, and the brushstrokes are thick in places, giving the scene a rough texture. The artist used bold colors and loose strokes, making the building look simple but alive. The way light hits the walls and darkens the doorway creates a strong contrast. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
