In the painting, a large, three-story house stands in the middle of a green landscape. The house has many windows and a chimney on the roof. In front of the house, there is a field with cows and trees. A fence runs along the edge of the field. The sky above is cloudy and gray. The overall atmosphere of the painting is peaceful and serene. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimension in the painting.
