A red brick Dutch townhouse with a stepped gable, leaded windows and blue shutters faces a quiet cobbled street, with two small figures near the doorway and potted plants along the wall. The finder squares are hidden in dark archways, shuttered windows and shaded brick, while the modules run through brickwork, window panes and the mottled plaster of the lower facade. Strong contrast between the dark openings and pale stone keeps the pattern legible within the painterly texture. Soft cumulus clouds and ivy on the left frame the scene in the manner of an old master canvas.
