About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a small sculpture. It shows a person crouching, with their back to us. The head is turned slightly to the side, and the arms are bent at the elbows. The figure’s muscles and posture look strong, but the face is blurred or unfinished. The rough texture of the sculpture stands out—it’s not smooth like polished stone. The photo itself looks old, with a faded, slightly yellowed background. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
