Summary

An impressionist painting offering a view of whitewashed Mediterranean farmhouse on a gentle hillside, bathed in sunlight and surrounded by trees and exotic plants, with steps leading up from the pathway to the house.

Every object in the frame is flooded with sunlight, producing many silver and white tones in the painting.
