The scene depicts a residential backyard or garden in Saint-Quentin, France, viewed from a dark grey composite deck. The deck features a white balustrade with ornate spindles on the left, flanked by two grey block pillars. A terracotta pot rests on the deck near the left pillar. A long, light-colored strip and a darker metallic strip lie horizontally on the deck surface towards the right. A grey support pillar for an overhead structure stands on the far right, near which a potted plant with dark leaves and a white metal plant stand with additional potted plants are visible. A white clothes drying rack is partially obscured on the far right. Beyond the deck, a concrete or stone slab path, partially covered by moss, leads through the garden. A black cat is walking away from the viewer down this path. The garden features sparse vegetation and bare deciduous trees, indicating a late autumn or winter setting. A large evergreen shrub is prominent on the left. On the right side of the garden, against a light-colored wall, an outdoor oven or fireplace with stacked firewood is present, accompanied by several colorful ceramic pots and a small, green tree. In the background, other residential structures with tiled roofs are visible under a clear, pale blue sky. No people are present.
