In this picture a man and a woman, probably the landowners are seen standing next to the door of their Normandy farmhouse. The farmhouse is very large but note that the lines are not straight indicating that the building was not built with an architectural plan. Most likely it was constructed by the farmer himself or one of his ancestors. Compare this fairly primitive farmhouse to the impressive manor houses such as this one.

The building is a rude structure, but the man and the woman in the picture are clearly proud of it. The man is wearing a hat and a suit. The woman is holding a broom.
