Farmhouse in Riom, Canton Graubunden The Swiss tradition of combining houses with barns makes up a large percentage of the homes in this far Eastern corner of Switzerland. Usually the barn is underneath or extends from the end of the house. In this pen sketch the barn is beneath the house as well as on one end. The old rocks exposed in the wall and the placement of the Ram skull above the door caught my eye. The hanging of skulls is also a popular form of house-barn decoration. Medium: Stiff Pen Sketch
