Rows of shallow stone pyramids cover both visible sides of this corner house. Every pointed block catches the low sun on one sloping face, while the other faces hold softer grey shadows. The repetition gives a familiar two-storey building an unexpectedly intricate surface. Broad plain bands around the windows and between the floors interrupt the pattern, making its small individual pieces easier to read. Tall dark windows, a modest arched wooden door and a deep roof cornice keep the composition anchored in ordinary building proportions.

Wet cobbles reflect traces of the pale winter sky beneath the facade. Small trees in terracotta pots gather around the entrance, and bare branches reach across the upper corner of the view. The stone shows worn edges, fine grain and slight colour changes from block to block, so the repeated shapes remain convincingly material. With no people in the court, the photograph gives space to the masonry itself: a carefully cut wall whose ornament comes from thousands of changes in angle.
