Sculpture of a Woman, Great Exhibition 1851 is a 1851 photographic by Nicolaas Henneman, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a statue. The figure is a woman draped in a long, flowing robe that clings to her body. Her head is covered by a hood, and her hands rest together in front of her. The photo itself looks old and slightly faded, with some marks on the edges. The statue’s face is calm and smooth, with soft shadows. This photo was taken at the Great Exhibition in 1851. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
An unmounted waxed paper negative depicts a sculpture of a woman with her head bowed, holding a book.
