Untitled is a photographic by Leo Friedlander, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a clay sculpture. Two strong horses stand side by side, their muscles and legs carved in detail. A man is perched on the back of one horse, leaning forward with one arm outstretched. His body is twisted, almost like he’s guiding or controlling the animals. The sculpture looks unfinished—you can see where the clay is still rough and uneven. The horses’ reins are tied together, suggesting they’re meant to move as one. If you like this kind of detailed clay work, check out Victoria and Albert Museum.
A photograph by Leo Friedlander is mounted on a green card. It was part of a collection bequeathed by William Kineton Parkes in 1938, who was a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his work on sculpture. Kineton Parkes gathered these photographs in the 1920s by sending questionnaires to sculptors, and this image is one of many he received in response.

Leo Friedlander spent most of his career pointing a camera at buildings, favoring the way light slides off brick and steel at odd hours.
