Untitled [house]
n.d.

A vintage photograph depicting a classic red Volkswagen Beetle parked beside a white two-story house with a large, sloping dark roof. The car has a number '53' and racing stripes, reminiscent of the iconic "Herbie" from Disney movies. The surrounding area appears to be under construction or in disrepair, with debris and dirt piles visible. The sky is clear and blue, suggesting a sunny day. The photo has a white border with signs of age and wear.
