This piece, rendered in shades of pinkish yellow and bluish green, depicts a flowering cherry tree filling the sky over a low-roofed house. A woman and little boy stand hand-in-hand by the open gate as if waiting for a third person.

It is tripled-matted under glass in a gold tone frame with a wire for hanging to its verso.
