Untitled is a photographic by Christine Gregory, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a seated figure. The person has short hair tied back and is bare-chested, sitting with knees bent and hands resting between their legs. They’re wrapped in a cloth draped over their head, and their feet are bare, touching a pile of what looks like leaves or fabric. The photo looks like it was taken from a sculpture, showing smooth curves and shadows that make the figure look three-dimensional. The lighting focuses on the face and shoulders, leaving the rest slightly darker. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
A photograph is mounted on a green card as 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, gathered these photographs in the 1920s by sending questionnaires to sculptors. The image is one of many sent in response to his request, now held in the Archive of Art and Design.
