This small, hand-crafted wooden house is a charming example of folk art, likely created in the early 20th century by an anonymous artist. It is crafted in the form of a traditional house with a pitched roof, two dormer windows, and a chimney. The artist has painted the exterior of the house in a simple, folk style, with a combination of brown, red, and black hues. Though the details are few, this small, but intricate piece of art serves as a reminder of the beauty and ingenuity found in everyday objects and in the traditions of folk art. The piece, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the creativity of anonymous artists.
