The photograph is of one of the four 'weeping women' atop the collonades at San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts, the only remaining (and now restored) building from the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exhibition. When Bernard Maybeck worked with sculptor Ulric Ellerhusen to make the weeping women, the melancholy figures with their backs turned were supposed to enhance the idea of sadness and ruin. He wanted to strike a quiet and reflective tone amid a bustling and stimulating fair. It is framed in a faux wooden carving style rubbed with a bronze metallic finish. The frame measures 23.5 x 19.5 inches. Shipping would be possible without the glass which could be replaced. If that is of interest, please contact me.
