Untitled is a photographic by Bohumil Kafka, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a photo of a small sculpture made of stone or plaster. It shows a kneeling figure with a large head and oversized hands, leaning back on one arm. The body is smooth but simple, with no extra details. The sculpture’s odd proportions—like the tiny feet and big head—stand out. It looks like a study for a larger work, maybe. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sculptures like this.
A black-and-white photograph is mounted on a green card as part of a collection assembled by William Kineton Parkes and bequeathed in 1938. The image was obtained through questionnaires sent to sculptors in the 1920s as part of Parkes' research on sculpture, and this photograph is one of the responses he received.
