Trapper's house https://www.wikiart.org/en/ben-shahn/trappers-house-1935

"Trapper's House," part of Ben Shahn's evocative collection, captures the serene yet resilient spirit of rural American life, reflecting Shahn's keen interest in social realism and poignant storytelling. Shahn, known for his deep empathy towards common people, here uses precise lines and muted colors to convey the simplicity and endurance of a trapper’s livelihood.
