Description:
Pencil on paper of a house, with carefully depicted architectural details, in the foreground and a large mountain peak faintly visible in the background. The roof of a barn can be seen just on the other side of a boulder, and a woman in a wide-brimmed hat is carrying a basket as she walks in front of the house. The dimensions of the mountain peak suggest the house itself in built on a neighboring mountain. Handwritten in pencil along the bottom, it reads, "Canton Lucern[e] Marion Baber." Canton Lucerne is an administrative subdivision in the center of Switzerland and consists of territories gained by the capital Lucerne.
