Artist, American, 1834 - 1903

This print shows the front of a building with a sloping roof. The roof is gray with some areas of yellow ochre, perhaps indicating piles of leaves. The building has several windows and window shades, all colored in pale green. There appear to be three stories in the building, with faint vertical lines of lilac bricks or stones on the left and right and an arched opening in the bottom left. Two figures in hats and skirts stand in the bottom left corner, facing the building. The background of the print is yellow-beige paper, and the lines are soft and sketch-like.
