Technical description
The painting is rendered in various painterly techniques. While the foundation of the house and the birch tree by the staircase railing have an obvious painterly character, in the form of brushstrokes and paint, the side of the house is executed with meticulous details that resemble a photograph. The combination of these different techniques creates a tension in the picture.
