This hand-carved wooden "Robin" is an example of folk art created by an anonymous artist between 1860 and 1900. This charming small-scale sculpture is typical of American folk art, with its simple form and bright colors. The bird's realistic details, such as its black and orange plumage, are rendered with a charming naiveté. The robin is perched on a wooden base, further enhancing its rustic appeal. Now part of the The Art Institute of Chicago collection, it is a testament to the enduring popularity of folk art and its ability to capture the beauty of the natural world.
