About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a stone sculpture. A person sits hunched forward, their knees pulled up and arms wrapped around their legs. Their head is tilted back, resting on their hands. The rough block of stone they sit on looks unfinished, with visible cracks and uneven edges. The sculpture’s pose feels tense, like they’re curled up to protect themselves. The photo itself is old, with a faded border and a small number in the corner. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more sculptures like this.
