Marble Fragment is a gelatin silver print from On the Acropolis, a portfolio of 25 photographs by Tod Papageorge made on the Athenian Acropolis in the summers of 1983 and 1984. The image depicts a group of tourists gathered behind a large cracked marble architectural block — a fragment of entablature or cornice — their figures silhouetted along its top edge against the hazy city of Athens and a flat grey sky. Signed, titled, numbered and dated in pencil on verso.
