A black-and-white photograph is mounted on green card as part of a survey conducted in the 1920s by William Kineton Parkes, a novelist, art historian and librarian known for his work on sculpture. The image was sent to Parkes by the Danish artist Jens Ferdinand Willumsen in response to a questionnaire aimed at sculptors. It later became part of a collection bequeathed to an archive in 1938.
