A vertically oriented softground etching depicts a weathered two-story cottage with a steeply pitched roof and stone chimney. The facade features exposed timber framing and crumbling plaster. Centered in the foreground, a child stands extending an arm toward a dog. Rough hatching creates shadows and textures of wood, stone, and distant foliage. To the left, a leafless tree rises behind the house, while debris litters the ground against a pale sky.
