Box (Log Cabin)

Henry Moran

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a small log cabin. The image depicts a log cabin with a rustic design, constructed from logs painted in muted tones of blues and grays. It features a pyramid-shaped wooden shingled roof with a central chimney. The cabin's walls show the grain and texture of the logs. A window and a door are visible on the front facade. The background is a plain, neutral color, emphasizing the cabin as the central subject of the composition. The style is reminiscent of Rene Magritte.
