About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a room with statues on pedestals. The statues show people in dramatic poses—some holding objects, others mid-motion. The room has tall windows letting in light, and the floor looks polished. In front of the statues is a long table with a few small items on it. The photo includes a color palette at the top, used to match tones in old photos. The statues look like copies of famous ancient sculptures, arranged to show different angles. Next, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more photos like this.
