About this motif
In northern Germany long, low farmhouses with reed roofs characterised the villages. People and livestock lived under one roof, with the harvest stored in the loft above.
Bruck's etching shows an elongated house with a deep reed roof, a second building behind, and a fence, garden and path in front. Image about 8 x 11 cm on an 18 x 24 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
