Untitled is a photographic by Theo van Reijn, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photograph showcases a sculpture of a woman and a child. The woman, positioned on the left, is depicted with her head bowed and her right hand gently placed on the child's head. The child, situated on the right, has their hands raised to their head, with their face turned towards the woman. The sculpture is rendered in a light color, which contrasts with the darker background. The overall atmosphere of the image exudes a sense of warmth and intimacy. To explore more works by the artist, visit the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A black-and-white photograph is mounted on a green card, originating from a collection bequeathed in 1938 by William Kineton Parkes, a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his work on sculpture. During the 1920s, Parkes distributed questionnaires to sculptors, and this photograph is one of many responses he received as part of that correspondence, now preserved in the Archive of Art and Design.
