Biography

Carl Philipp Weber was born in Darmstadt, Germany in 1849, probably late in the year. As an infant in 1853 he accompanied his parents to the United States, where they settled in Philadelphia. His father, a musician and music teacher, was also named Carl; he was the older brother of Paul Weber, a well-
known artist who had earlier settled in Philadelphia and lived there with his family, which included a son, Carl, born Oct. 18, 1850.

Artist: The style is consistent with artists who painted pastoral landscapes, such as Albert Charpin (1842-1924) or Benjamin Williams Leader (1831-1923).

Frame: The piece is housed in a deep, ornate antique frame, often constructed of wood and gesso with a gold gilt finish.
