"An Old Shack" (Finnish: "Vanha riihi") is a painting by Finnish artist Pekka Halonen (1865–1933), known for his landscapes and depictions of Finnish rural life. Created in 1905, this work exemplifies Halonen's focus on the intimate connection between the Finnish people and their natural environment, a theme prevalent in National Romanticism, which was influential in Finland at the time.

The painting portrays a traditional Finnish riihi, a type of old wooden barn used for drying grain, which is a common sight in the Finnish countryside. Halonen's use of natural light and shadow, along with his attention to the textures of the wooden structure and the surrounding landscape, imbues the scene with a sense of tranquility and timelessness. The shack, often situated within a serene, snow-covered landscape, reflects the artist's fascination with the changing seasons and their impact on rural life.

Pekka Halonen's "An Old Shack" is considered an important work in his oeuvre, showcasing his skill in capturing the essence of Finnish rural architecture and the symbiotic relationship between the people and the harsh yet beautiful Nordic environment. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact that offers insight into the Finnish national identity during the early 20th century.

As a notable piece of Finnish art history, "An Old Shack" continues to be studied and appreciated for its contribution to the National Romantic movement and for its portrayal of the simplicity and beauty of rural Finland. The painting is often displayed in Finnish art museums and has been included in various exhibitions that explore the themes of nationalism, nature, and the rural landscape in art.
