As a child, Ehrlich drew the horses at the cab stands in his native Vienna, and Tired Horse \u2013 made towards the end of his life \u2013 surely recalls these animals. \n\nHaving studied art at Vienna\u2019s Kunstgewerbeschule (1912\u201315), Ehrlich served in the Austrian army (1915\u201318). After the War, he worked as a printmaker in Munich and Berlin before returning to Vienna in 1923\/4, where he started producing three-dimensional work. Ehrlich\u2019s sculpture is firmly rooted in the figurative tradition, with human and animal subjects predominating. His wife Bettina, also an artist, became expert at casting and patinating Ehrlich\u2019s bronzes.\n\nHaving left Vienna for London in 1937, Ehrlich\u2019s Jewish roots meant that it was too dangerous for him to return home after the Anschluss (March 1938), so Bettina joined him in England a few months later; in 1947, they became British citizens. They were great friends of the composer Benjamin Britten (1913-76) and his partner, the singer Peter Pears (1910-86). It was Pears who wrote the introductory essay to Ehrlich\u2019s 1964 Arts Council exhibition booklet, stating that with his friend\u2019s work \u2018one cannot tell where craft stops and magic begins\u2019. Pears and Britten collected many works by Ehrlich, including another version of Tired Horse, which can still be seen today at their former home, The Red House, in Aldeburgh, Suffolk."}],"periods":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-107318","uid":"adlib-term-107318","uuid":"d27559f3-e90c-35cd-b7e4-46eaeb9ac521"},"summary_title":"20th Century"}],"places":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-107139","uid":"adlib-term-107139","uuid":"9fd5ef13-3709-388f-b925-702787340e32"},"hierarchies":[[{"@link":{"type":"literal"},"name":[{"value":"England"}],"summary_title":"England","type":"country"}]],"summary_title":"England"}]}]},"materials":[{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-39741","uid":"adlib-term-39741","uuid":"47d44741-af05-37c3-b21e-0e278b114f3b"},"summary_title":"copper alloy"}},{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-40365","uid":"adlib-term-40365","uuid":"d79c75c2-da7b-3187-918e-f7a374e04005"},"summary_title":"bronze"}}],"measurements":{"dimensions":[{"dimension":"Weight","units":"kg","value":"15.07"}]},"name":[{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-110277","uid":"adlib-term-110277","uuid":"97f1ad1c-7b1d-373a-b0ae-ed010d95f37b"},"summary_title":"animal figure"}}],"owners":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-149638","uid":"adlib-agent-149638","uuid":"7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8"},"summary_title":"The Fitzwilliam Museum"}],"publications":[{"@link":{"notes":"Publ.
