The artwork titled “Untitled,” rendered by the artist Lewis Carroll, pertains to the art movement known as Pictorialism and falls under the genre of photography.
This artwork is a black-and-white photograph featuring three young girls engaged in an informal, yet intimate moment. One girl stands while holding a small object, displaying it to the seated girl in the center who gazes upon it with interest; meanwhile, the third girl, also seated, leans towards the other two, contributing to the captured interaction. The backdrop is simple and unadorned, placing the viewer’s focus firmly on the subjects’ expressions and postures, evocative of the emotional and narrative emphasis characteristic of the Pictorialism movement. The scene, imbued with a sense of innocence and curiosity, is a representation of childhood captured through the lens of a bygone era.
