About this work

Overview

A black and white photograph mounted on a green card, this untitled work is part of a collection related to a survey on sculpture conducted in the 1920s.

Subject & Meaning

The photograph depicts a stone or plaster bust of a man with a serious expression, wearing a collared shirt. The subject's features are accentuated by the chiaroscuro effect, which creates a sense of depth and volume.

Technique & Style

The use of strong contrasts between light and dark in the photograph creates a chiaroscuro effect, highlighting the bust's three-dimensional form. The image is well-lit, with the light source coming from the left side.

History & Provenance

The photograph was received as a response to a questionnaire distributed by William Kineton Parkes, a writer on sculpture, and was later bequeathed to the Archive of Art and Design in 1938 as part of his collection.
