In the foreground, a man with a walking stick, his back bent under the weight of a brown sack, is walking on a path toward a dilapidated, pink-colored, foundationless house. The sagging roof has a blue tint, and there is a mustard-colored lean-to attached at the right side of the building. Some of the windows are boarded up. Standing to the right of that, and separated by a gate made of pickets, is an even smaller detached lean-to-style building. It is a lighter shade of mustard with a green door. A small blue-tinted doghouse sits in front of the gate. Fence posts are scattered around the property but the fence is broken or incomplete. The grass is long and yellow-colored, giving the appearance of having gone to seed. All but one of the trees are fully leaved in green. The smallest tree stands in the side yard behind some bushes. It is sparsely covered with leaves and the ones at the top appear purple. A larger white house sits behind and to the left. This house also has a story-and-a half addition that transitions to a single story toward the back. The sky in the background is intensely blue and the short shadows indicate that the sun is almost directly overhead.
