Untitled is a photographic by John Munsterhjelm, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a marble bust. The man has a serious expression, a neatly trimmed mustache, and a high collar with a bow tie. The sculpture sits on a simple base, and the background is plain and dark. The photo itself looks old, with a slightly faded edge. The artist who took this photo is John Munsterhjelm.

A photograph is mounted on a green card. It was part of a collection bequeathed by William Kineton Parkes in 1938. Kineton Parkes, a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his work on sculpture, received the photograph along with others as responses to questionnaires he sent to sculptors in the 1920s. These questionnaires and related materials are now held in the Archive of Art and Design.

John Munsterhjelm spent his life behind a camera in the frozen north, making quiet photographs that feel like diary entries.
