A Bust is a 1850 photographic by Edmundo Behles, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a stone bust. The figure wears a hat pulled low over their eyes, leaving only the forehead and a bit of hair visible. A pointed object—maybe a feather or stylus—rests on the shoulder. The photo looks old, with a soft, faded quality. The bust itself is simple but detailed, especially around the hat’s folds and the neckline. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
