Max Weber

Associated Names

Max Weber

Artist, American, born Russia (now Poland), 1881 - 1961

The image shows a full-body drawing of a standing person without distinct facial features, as the face is not visible due to the pose. The person has their arms raised, bent at the elbows with hands placed behind their head, obscuring their face. The individual appears nude, emphasizing the contours of the body. The hair is depicted with textured round shapes above the head, suggesting curly or wavy hair. The background is plain, focusing solely on the outlined figure.
