This is a black-and-white photo of a wooden sculpture. It shows a person sitting sideways on a horse. Both figures are simple shapes—big rounded forms for the body and legs, smooth curves for the horse’s neck and belly. The rider’s arm rests on the horse’s neck, and the horse’s head is turned slightly to the side. The sculpture looks like it’s carved from one piece of wood, with no extra details. The grain of the wood shows through, giving it a textured look. Check out more by Orloff, Chana.
