"Maquette, page 12" is a photomontage by Nathan Lerner, created between 1935 and 1944. The work consists of two separate images, one showing a close-up of a man's face seen through a window, and the other a street scene with a "CIGARS" sign and a partially visible "OPEN" sign. Lerner, known for his experimental photographic techniques, juxtaposes these images, exploring themes of urban life and human interaction. The composition, marked by contrasting light and shadow, adds to the overall visual impact of the work.
