About this work

This black-and-white photograph shows a sculpture of a putto, a mythological child, sitting on a table. The putto is nude and has a hood over its head. It's looking down and to the right, with its left hand on its chest and its right hand holding its left foot. The putto is sitting on a dark cloth that's draped over the table. The sculpture is very detailed, with wrinkles in the cloth and texture on the putto's skin. The background is a plain wall, which helps the sculpture stand out. The photograph is well-lit, with shadows that make the sculpture look three-dimensional. The putto is a common subject in art, often depicted in paintings and sculptures.
