This photograph shows a figure of an angel kneeling on the ground. The artist used red terra cotta for the sculpture and captured it in a photograph. This was made between 1863 and 1864 by Louise Laffon, a French photographer. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this work as part of their early photography collection. The museum began collecting photographs in 1852 and was the first to exhibit them. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
