This image appears to be a watercolor painting depicting a traditional house. It has a prominent thatched roof that is nicely textured, indicating the distinctive straw or reed covering. The roofline descends steeply on one side and forms an overhang above the white-walled facade, which features visible timber framing—a characteristic of the half-timbered architecture style. There are four windows visible on the house's facade, two on each side of what seems to be the main entrance, and shutters painted in green. Below the roofline on the right side, there seems to be an extension of the building with a red-tiled roof, contrasting with the thatched roof of the main structure. Next to the house, some greenery is visible, with bushes or trees, suggesting a garden or landscaped area around the house. The scene also suggests it might be early evening or a cloudy day due to the muted lighting in the painting. Shadowing is minimal, which also supports the overcast lighting scenario. The artist has signed and dated the piece in the lower right corner: "Rothen — '33," which could indicate it was completed in the year 1933. The paper has frayed edges, especially at the top, indicating that the painting might have been torn from a sketchbook or mounted at some point. The overall feel is quaint and serene, projecting a sense of rural calm.
