About this work

This looks like a rough clay model of two horses pulling a wagon. The horses are mid-stride, their muscles tense, and the wagon behind them is lumpy and uneven. The whole scene is caught in a quick, messy moment—like a snapshot of hard work. The artist didn’t smooth out the details. The texture looks raw, almost like they were working fast. This kind of quick, sketchy modeling was common for practice or planning bigger sculptures. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
