Size of the work is 13.5X19.5 inches. With the frame it is 18.75X14.75 inches. Housed in a beautiful frame. It appears the date is 1929, but it could be a bit later.

He later would invent his own style/ technique of artwork called “Binocular Vision,” where he painted scenes with double vision.  Painting is in great condition with minor craquelure throughout. Bright colors and ready to hang. A magnificent work for any serious art collector.
