About the Item

Alfred Bendiner (1899-1964) was trained as an architect but worked as an artist throughout his career. He was a noted lithographer, as well an author, muralist, and caricaturist. The Philadelphia Museum of Art has a major archive of his work. Bendiner was an incurable traveler. This drawing of Santa Fe 'cowboys' captures the the joy of that experience. It is signed and titled in pencil.
