DESCRIPTION: This painting shows a partial view of a country house with a garden. The house is white and has a traditional clay roof. The floor and big windows are also customary of this type of house. The garden is simple, represented by grass and small flowers. There is also a pot with geraniums and a small tree framing the entrance door. The style is naïve, suggesting this is the work of a self-taught artist.
