A horizontally oriented color woodcut with granular textures depicts a two-story teal house atop a hill. A single lower window glows with bright yellow light. To the right, a skeletal, leafless tree twists toward a layered sky of dark, streaked clouds. In the foreground, a low wooden fence lines a slope where long, purple shadows stretch across the pale ground. Dramatic, high-contrast shapes and moody tones define this nocturnal landscape.
