Description

Titled "A Dance for two" is a 3D relief wood carving by Max Mougel 1895-1998. An American artist most famously known for his etchings and sculptures. Mougel was born in NYC and is strongly associated with the WPA artists of the 30's.

The size measures 16" X 16" X 2" thick framed. The actual rendition is 15 X15". and the relief is approx. 3/8ths inches. The wood tones are exquisite giving a real depth and feeling to the piece. The surface finish is pristine with no visible damage. It has been well cared for.
I do not have great lighting available to capture the true tones, hues and feelings this picture presents, but if interested I will take more under various lighting
