A horizontally oriented graphite drawing on cream paper depicts a house with a peaked roof and chimney at the center. To our right, a tall tree is rendered in rapid, zigzagging lines. In the lower left, a curved path leads toward the building. Loose, energetic strokes form surrounding shrubbery, while the background is left plain. The minimalist composition creates a gestural study of a house among sketchy, unshaded foliage.
