About this work

This photo shows a marble sculpture of a reclining figure. The person’s head is turned slightly away, and one arm rests above them, palm up. The stone looks smooth but has faint lines where the tool marks remain. The sculpture’s relaxed pose makes it feel calm and quiet. The photo itself is in black and white, which makes the marble’s texture stand out. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sculptures like this.

The story of this work

Overview

A black-and-white photograph is mounted on a green card and was among materials sent to the art historian William Kineton Parkes in the 1920s as part of a survey of sculptors. The image is part of a collection bequeathed by Parkes in 1938, now held in the Archive of Art and Design.
