From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a 1925 photographic by Wäinö Aaltonen, depicting Barefoot, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black and white photograph of a barefoot. The foot is positioned on a rough, flat surface, with the toes pointing downward. The background is dark, which makes the foot stand out. The photograph is quite detailed, showing the texture of the skin and the shape of the foot. It's a simple yet interesting composition. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who took this photograph, you might want to look up Wäinö Aaltonen.
A black-and-white photograph is mounted on a green card as part of a collection assembled by William Kineton Parkes, who distributed questionnaires to sculptors in the 1920s. The image is one of numerous responses received and later bequeathed to an archive in 1938.
