This framed, museum-quality piece measures approximately 14" x 16" overall, with an image sight of 11.5" x 13.75".

Reverse side of piece features an affixed paper label which bears the name and address of the "Bernard Danenberg Galleries" of New York, NY. The label attributes this piece to Max Weber, and dates it 1951.

Max Weber (Jewish-American, 1881-1961) was born in Poland and studied art at the renowned Pratt Institute (Brooklyn, New York). After college, Weber accepted a few teaching positions around the United States and eventually traveled to Europe, where he continued to pursue his painting studies. When Max Weber returned to the U.S. in 1909, he played a key role in introducing Cubism to the American art world.
