Church with steeple still bank c. early to mid 20th century

This small wooden model of a church, created by an anonymous artist in the early to mid-20th century, is a charming example of folk art. The simple construction and hand-painted details, including the inscription "Mr. Hall's Sunday School," suggest a personal and devotional purpose. The church's diminutive size and the use of readily available materials contribute to its folk art aesthetic. This miniature church, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, provides a glimpse into the artistic expression of an individual craftsman.
