Box (Log Cabin) c. 1939

This 1939 work by American artist Henry Moran, "Box (Log Cabin)", is a highly detailed depiction of a simple log cabin. Moran, known for his meticulous realism, captures the texture of the wood, the roof, and the single window and door. The small size of the piece, just over 14 inches high, emphasizes the humble subject and draws the viewer into the intimate scale of the structure. The clean background allows the cabin to be the sole focus, making it a quiet and contemplative image.
