Watercolor sketch of the view from the wooden porch of a villa.There are two rectangular archways besides each other that let out into the garden, which is dense with trees and vegetation, so much so that the garden blocks the view of anything else. The garden is full of star-shaped palm trees among other indistinct leaves. The porch is cluttered with fallen wood. The view is distorted on the right and the left, like it is being viewed through a fish-eye lens.
