In the foreground is a yard surrounded on two sides by a high fence. A path runs down its center and turns to continue toward the lower right corner of the plate. A clothesline and a small fountain are near the lower left corner. On the far side of the fence, which extends across the plate, the upper stories of houses are seen above masses of foliage.
