From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a photographic by Georgine Schwartze, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a young person in a white shirt with a high collar and puffy sleeves. Their hands are clasped in front, and they’re looking upward with a serious expression. The background is dark, with a textured wall and a carved ledge at the bottom. The photo looks like it was taken a long time ago—maybe early 1900s. The lighting is simple but focused on the face, making it stand out against the shadows. Check out Schwartze, Georgine to see more of her work.
A photograph is mounted on a green card as 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, gathered these photographs in the 1920s by sending questionnaires to sculptors, whose responses are now held in the Archive of Art and Design. This image is one of many submitted by sculptors to complete Parkes's survey.
