Standing man still bank c. 1920

This charming, hand-painted wooden figure, created around 1920 by an anonymous artist, depicts a standing man. This folk art figure, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a delightful example of early 20th-century American craftmanship. The piece is characterized by its simple, almost childlike style, employing vibrant colors and basic shapes to represent the human form. It's likely this figure was intended as a toy or decorative object, reflecting the playful and whimsical nature of its design.
