Statue of Female Nude with Cherub, Great Exhibition 1851 is a 1851 photographic by Nicolaas Henneman, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photo shows a small statue of a woman standing tall with one arm raised. At her feet is a small cherub holding what looks like a shield. Behind them, a blurry crowd and a sign with numbers fill the background. The statue looks like it’s from a fair or exhibition—maybe a big one. The photo itself is faded, like it’s old. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more pieces like this.
An unmounted waxed paper negative depicts a sculpture of a standing female nude figure accompanied by a cherub positioned at her feet.
