William Standing - Cabin on the Prairie 12.5" x 16"
William Standing (American, 1904-1951)Cabin on the Prairie, n. d. Oil on canvas boardCanvas: 12.5” x 16”Frame: 17.75” x 21”Signed Lower Right: Wm. Standing In this evocative painting, a sense of haunting isolation pervades the landscape, where a long, weather-beaten cabin stands solitary amidst a vast grass prairie. The surrounding beauty of the prairie and the distant, ethereal mountain serve as a juxtaposition to the cabin’s loneliness, possibly hinting at the resilience of nature in the face of human absence. Through this piece, the artist invites reflection on themes of transience, solitude, and the passage of time.
