Colonial Table with Pitcher is a testament to Weber's unwavering commitment to still life painting and evidences his discerning eye for objects of significance in his environment. Weber incorporated an octagonal colonial period end table at the heart of his unfinished composition. Through his still life practice, Weber placed profound emphasis on quotidian objects, both contemporary and historical, asserting, "Through things we ever establish new relationships between ourselves and the principles that underlie things. The simplest object may have embodied in it the finest degree of excellence." (Max Weber, Essays on Art, New York: William Edwin Rudge, 1916, p. 35).
