About this work

The image presents a black-and-white photograph of a marble sculpture, featuring a nude female figure standing on a circular base. The woman's hair is styled in a bun, and she holds a small object in her hands, which she appears to be examining. Her gaze is directed downward, focused on the object. The sculpture is set against a dark background, which serves to accentuate the subject's form and texture. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. To learn more about this photograph, you can explore the work of artist Szentgyörgyi, Stefan.

The story of this work

Overview

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