The building has a covered porch on the right side. The porch roof extends out over the yard. There are several large windows with arched tops. Some have red curtains. People in Western clothing stand in the yard. A man on the left wears a red jacket and white pants. A woman on the right wears a long red and black dress. A bare tree sits to the left of the building. A wooden fence runs along the left side. A red sign hangs on the fence. The background sky is red. The print style is reminiscent of Japanese ukiyo-e.
