Czech medallist Otakar Španiel carved medals and sculpted small bronze portraits in the early 20th century. In our gallery you’ll find his Untitled Photograph, a single black-and-white plate that shows the careful textures of a carved relief. Look for the way light catches the raised edges—every hollow and bump speaks the language of metalwork. Tap the photograph to zoom in and compare the subtle gradations of shade.
