The painting shows an intricate house consisting of various forms and materials; pieces of fabric stand next to oil paint. The texture and materiality of the image confer the painting a certain depth dragging the viewer into the complex structure of the house and its rooms.
This portrait of a house - and not of a person - somehow depicts the same layers and depth of personality that a human portrait would include. Using predominantly brown and grey tones, as well as nuances of violett and turquoise that brighten the painting’s atmosphere. In the soft moonlight, the house appears to be multi-dimensional – just like the different facets of a person that might live in it. Here, Boehm also refers to ideas of psychoanalysis.
