Untitled is a photographic by Georges Vastagh, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This black-and-white photo shows a statue sitting on a pedestal in a cemetery. The statue is draped in flowing robes, with one arm resting on its knee and the other hand holding a scroll. Behind it, rows of gravestones and small crosses fill the background, with some flowers at the base of the statue. The photo’s grainy look and the word "Vastagh" written in the corner suggest it’s an old image. The statue’s quiet pose and the cemetery setting make it feel like a moment frozen in time. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of their collection.
A photograph is mounted on green card as part of a collection bequeathed by William Kineton Parkes in 1938. Kineton Parkes, known for his work on sculpture, distributed questionnaires to sculptors in the 1920s, and this photograph was one of the responses he received. The image is held among materials now preserved in the Archive of Art and Design.
