A human figure stands near the building facing away, drawn with simple line work. Vegetation, including bushes and tall grasses, grows along the right side and near the water’s edge, rendered with fine, sketchy strokes. A low wooden fence or posts appear beside the cottage, and a small wooden dock or platform extends into the water.
