A dense field of wheat fills the foreground, its stalks rendered with thick, energetic strokes of yellow, green, and white paint. Curved lines of white and dark green in the lower part of the canvas describe the shapes of individual plants, their forms almost abstract against the mass of the field. Beyond the wheat, bands of lighter green mark the middle ground, where the field stretches towards a low white wall.

A cluster of trees, painted with swirling blue and green brushstrokes, rises behind the wall and partially conceals a house with a blue roof and white walls. To the right of the main house stands a smaller outbuilding, also painted white, its roof a warm ochre. The sky above is streaked with blue, white, and violet, echoing the restless movement of the wheat below.

Every part of the composition is animated by short, directional brushstrokes, which create a sense of rhythm and unity across the scene. The palette is dominated by greens and yellows, with accents of white, blue, and ochre, giving the landscape a vivid, sunlit quality. No human figures appear in the scene, but the presence of the house and cultivated field suggests a lived-in rural environment.

A band of deep blue-green trees stretches across the upper third of the painting, their forms outlined with thick, looping brushstrokes. The upper right corner is filled with swirling, lavender-blue foliage that contrasts with the lighter sky. The lower left corner contains several large, curved white brushstrokes that highlight the edges of the wheat plants.

Light falls most strongly on the central part of the field, where yellow and white strokes are most concentrated, while the edges are more shadowed. The paint is applied in visible, textured ridges, especially in the foreground, where the brushstrokes overlap and create a sense of depth and movement. Wheat Field at Auvers with House was painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1890.
