The painting from 1936 (oil, cardboard, 34.8 x 38 cm) presents a tenement house seen from the perspective of Błotna Street in Kazimierz Dolny. In the foreground, there is a square covered with green and yellow grass with a slender green and blue tree in the middle. On the left, there is a small fragment of a one-story house with pink and lilac walls, on the right (a little further) - a fragment of a forge. In the distance, behind the ribbon of a yellow street, there is the Biała Tenement House with a tall attic and the adjacent single-storey house with a sloping roof. Both buildings are kept in purple, blue and yellow tones. There is no signature.
