About this work

The image is a black-and-white photograph of a sculpture of a young girl's head and shoulders. The girl has short hair and is wearing a loose-fitting top with a high neckline. Her face is turned slightly to the right, and her expression is neutral. The sculpture appears to be made of white marble or plaster, and it is set against a dark background. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this sculpture, you might want to look up Laszczka, Konstanty.

The story of this work

Overview

A black-and-white photograph is mounted on a green card, documenting an untitled work by the sculptor Konstanty Laszczka from 1915. The image was part of a group of photographs sent to the art historian and librarian William Kineton Parkes in the 1920s, as part of his research into sculpture. Parkes later bequeathed the collection to an institution in 1938. The photograph is now held as part of the Archive of Art and Design.
