The sculpture is light-colored and has a rough texture. The background of the photograph is dark, which helps the sculpture stand out. There are no other objects or people in the image.

The story of this work

Overview

A photograph is mounted on a green card in this work by Wilhelm Frass. The image is part of a collection bequeathed by William Kineton Parkes in 1938, who was a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his writing on sculpture. In the 1920s, Parkes distributed questionnaires to sculptors, and this photograph was one of many sent to him in response. The work is held in the Archive of Art and Design.
