About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of two kangaroos. The adult is sitting upright, facing left, with its tail curled under. A smaller joey clings to its belly, peeking out from under its mother’s arm. They’re posed on a flat surface, like a shelf, with a rough-textured base below. The photo looks old, with a faded border and a small inset image of what might be the original sculpture material. The lighting is simple, casting soft shadows. If you like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more sculptures.
