About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a statue carved into a wall. A man stands in fancy clothes, holding a scroll in one hand and a trumpet in the other. Behind him is a pointed arch with carvings, and to the left, another figure is half-hidden in shadow. The wall looks old, with rough stones around the edges. The statue shows a man who looks like a composer. The words below say his name is George Frederick Handel. The photo was taken inside a church. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more photos like this.
