A horizontally oriented graphite drawing on light paper with loose, gestural lines depicts a gabled house beside a thick-trunked tree. Scribbled loops form dense foliage atop the tree's limbs. The house features a bay window with vertical panes, while a smaller building stands in the distance to the right. Quick, horizontal strokes suggest a foreground lawn, and scribbled textures indicate low shrubbery clustered around the base of the buildings.
