Dione is a 1855 photographic by Roger Fenton, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a photo of a stone bust of a woman. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a simple draped garment over one shoulder. The surface of the stone shows some wear, especially around the edges. The bust sits on a round pedestal, and the whole thing is placed on a flat base. The photo itself looks old, with a dark background that makes the stone stand out. The lighting is even, but the texture of the stone is clear—you can see the tool marks where it was carved. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this bust in person.
