Miniature Lumber Camp

Alfonso Moreno

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of various figures and objects arranged on a plain background. The painting includes several stylized figures, such as two individuals standing by a table, a lone standing figure, and a small figure with a bundle on their back. Additionally, there is a suspended yellow object that resembles an hourglass, and a small blue and brown object resembling a bench with a chisel or similar item. Each figure is painted in vibrant colors, with reds, blues, and pinks standing out against the understated background. The forms suggest a folk art style, characterized by bold color choices and a lack of perspective.
