The image shows a brick building with wisteria growing on it. There is a staircase leading to a wooden door, with a green wrought iron fence in the foreground. Windows above the fence have green shutters. The painting captures the light and colors of the flowers in shades of blue, lilac, and white against the brick surface. The color palette includes warm red bricks contrasting with cool green shutters and railings.
