"Maquette, page 6" is a photomontage from 1935-1944, by American photographer Nathan Lerner (1913-1997). The piece consists of two black-and-white photographic prints, one depicting a figure lying on a dock, possibly a beach, and the other of a rearview mirror, with the reflection of a pier and couple embracing in the distance, alongside a car. The work is characterized by its minimalist style and focus on the relationship between the viewer and the depicted.
