Pen and brown ink drawing of a wooden staircase and railing leading to a house with a paned window, with flowerpots and shrubs in a garden.

Back Garden of Sien's Mother's House

A wooden railed staircase rises diagonally across the foreground toward a brick house with a small-paned window and open doorway, while clay flowerpots sit on the planked ground at lower left. Brown ink and wash with white heightening render the leafy shrubs, lattice fence and weathered boards in loose, hatched strokes.
