Trajan is a 1855 photographic by Roger Fenton, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a stone bust. The head is clean-shaven except for a short, wavy fringe of hair on top. The figure has a calm, serious expression and is missing its arms. The base of the bust has carved letters, but they’re hard to read. The photo itself looks old, with a faded, slightly grainy quality. The lighting is even, showing the smooth surface of the stone. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next to see more works like this.
A sepia-toned photograph from 1855 shows a bare-chested bust of a man displayed on a table. The image is monochrome, emphasizing the classical features of the sculpture. The photograph was taken by Roger Fenton.
