The painting is in a realistic style and depicts a scene outside of a house. The house is a two-story wooden structure with a yellow exterior and a grey roof. It has a porch and a large window on the first floor. The trees are bare, and the ground is covered in snow. In the background, there is a large, dark figure standing in the trees. The figure is wearing a long coat and a hat, and its face is obscured by the shadows. The painting is eerie and unsettling, and it leaves the viewer wondering what the figure is and what it wants.
