The house has a covered porch supported by thin columns on the left side. There are five visible windows on the side of the house. A wooden fence runs along the left side of the house. In front of the house, there are several large rocks and a wooden picnic table. A wheelbarrow sits to the right of the table. Trees are visible behind the house. The background is light gray. Handwritten text at the bottom of the image reads: "The residence of Mr. William Inman, Sampitts, West Chester County, 1826". The artist's signature is in the bottom-left corner.
