Untitled is a photographic by Frank Dobson, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The image is a black-and-white photograph of a man standing beside a sculpture of a woman. The man is wearing a suit and tie, with his hands resting on the sculpture's base. The sculpture depicts a woman with long hair, wearing a dress, seated with her hands clasped together in her lap. The sculpture is placed on a wooden base, and the background of the photograph appears to be a curtain or drapes. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of quiet contemplation, with the man and the sculpture seeming to be lost in thought. This photograph is part of the collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photograph by Frank Dobson is part of a collection bequeathed by William Kineton Parkes in 1938. Kineton Parkes, a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his work on sculpture, had sent questionnaires to sculptors in the 1920s, and this image was one of many responses he received. The photograph is held in the Archive of Art and Design.

Frank Dobson was the guy who turned 1920s London’s rainy afternoons into smooth bronze cheeks and sharp-collared suits.
