Tom Davies

Inside the image.

A square colour photograph shows a bearded man standing beside a pale horse in a leafy outdoor setting. The man fills much of the centre-right, visible from the head to below the waist. He wears a flat cap, a brown-grey checked jacket with broad lapels and buttoned flap pockets, and holds a curved-handled walking stick upright in front of him. His other arm rests close to the horse. The horse occupies the left half and faces the viewer, its long light-blond forelock hanging over its face and its pale mane falling down the side of its neck. A white halter crosses its muzzle and head; a lead hangs down against its dark body.

The pair are closely framed, with the horse's head and the man's upper body forming the main focus. Their figures overlap slightly, and the man's shoulder sits behind the horse's neck. A grassy strip opens into the distance at lower left, bordered by dense shrubs and trees. Dark foliage fills the upper background and the right edge, while lighter greenery and a small pale horizontal fence or rail appear in the far lower-left background. The horse's dark coat and shaded greenery contrast with its bright mane and the man's lighter jacket. The light is soft and diffuse, with no hard cast shadows. The photograph has a natural, slightly muted green-brown palette and visible fine image grain.

Large white serif lettering reading “TOM DAVIES” spans the top, slightly right of centre, over the dark tree canopy. Below it at upper right, smaller white lettering reads “Bariton”. Two short lines of yellow text beneath read “Cyfeilydd.” and “Colin Jones”. The title is the largest text element, in bold, high-contrast capitals; the smaller lines are tightly grouped and aligned towards the right. There is no visible border.
