Toy bank: Man in a Cabin

Chris Makrenos

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a small house or cabin with a figure standing at its entrance. The cabin features horizontal wood paneling painted in a green color with red accents on the door and window frame. The structure includes additional details like a star-shaped decoration and tools attached to the exterior of the house. The figure standing in the doorway is dressed in a blue top with yellow pants. The sculpture is crafted from a solid material with painted colors enhancing its appearance to make it look like a quaint and rustic dwelling. The sculpture is placed against a plain background in the image, and an additional drawn design appears to be above the house.
