Untitled is a photographic by William Wauer, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This black and white photograph features a sculpture of a human head, likely a bust. The head is positioned facing forward, with the chin slightly tilted upwards. The sculpture appears to be made of stone or a similar material, and it is rendered in a realistic style. The background of the photograph is dark, which helps to accentuate the details of the sculpture. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with the sculpture being the clear focal point of the image. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this photograph, you might want to look up Wauer, William.
A photograph is mounted on a green card as part of a collection bequeathed by William Kineton Parkes in 1938. Kineton Parkes, a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his writing on sculpture, had sent questionnaires to sculptors in the 1920s, and this photograph was among those sent in response. The image is one of many held in the Archive of Art and Design.
