Sweet Old Handmade Red and White Painted Wooden House old lead soldier and I believe based on

and I believe based on a popular advertising image of the time

Brady followed by the year 1896

and it would be quite useful now for housing stashes of various sorts--and making a pretty good hiding place I'd think if placed up on a shelf

as if the dog is curled up on a cozy rug next to fireside

This painting is in very good antique condition

Sweet Old Handmade Red and White Painted Wooden House old lead soldier and I believe based onA charming little house, just what it needs to be, and a bit mysterious too with no doors or windows, I can't quite figure out which side is meant to be the front!
