Untitled is a 1925 photographic by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a small statue. The statue shows a barefoot man mid-stride, one leg lifted high, as if he’s running or jumping. His body is smooth but muscular, and he’s standing on a simple stone base with a carved border. The photo looks old, with a faded, slightly yellowed tone. The artist’s name is signed in the top corner, but it’s hard to read. The date "1925" is stamped in the bottom right. If you like this kind of sculpture, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A black-and-white photograph is mounted on a green card, one of many sent to the art historian and novelist William Kineton Parkes in the 1920s as part of a survey of sculptors. The image is part of a collection bequeathed by Kineton Parkes in 1938, who is known for his scholarship on sculpture. The photograph was likely submitted by a sculptor responding to Kineton Parkes’ questionnaire about their work.
