About this motif
Two-storey half-timbered houses often show elaborate patterns of diagonal braces and St Andrew's crosses. Carpenters also regarded the timberwork as decoration.
This miniature by Sommer (KVCF-052) shows a tall half-timbered house with striking brace patterns and a red gable roof, with a path and meadow in front. Image about 5 x 5 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
