Untitled is a photographic by John Bickerdike, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a sculpted head. The face is smooth, with soft curves and a calm expression. The top of the head looks worn, like the material is chipped away in spots. The photo itself is old, with a faded border and a small handwritten number in the corner. It feels like a study or a practice piece, not a finished work. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of their sculpture collection.
A photograph is mounted on green card as part of a collection bequeathed by William Kineton Parkes in 1938. Kineton Parkes, known for his scholarship on sculpture, distributed questionnaires to sculptors in the 1920s, and this image is one of many sent in response to his inquiry. The photograph is held among materials now preserved in the Archive of Art and Design.
