A wide farmyard unfolds in a flattened, folk-art perspective: a red chicken coop with a wooden ramp stands at left, twin flowering trees with white blossoms flank the center, and a white two-chimney farmhouse with a cottage garden of sunflowers and daisies sits at right. All of it is set behind a rustic split-rail fence with a gate, while five hens are scattered across the foreground dirt yard and black-eyed susans line the base of the coop.

Soft, even daylight and a slightly hazy atmosphere soften the distant trees and hills. Fine, even brushwork, a stippled texture in the foliage and the hens' feathers, and a smooth matte finish over subtle canvas grain give the scene a wholesome, nostalgic charm.
