The image is a composite of sequential photographs showing a man interacting with a horse. The man is in full body view, moving around the horse to perform tasks related to farriery. He is sometimes bent over and other times standing upright. The man has short, dark hair and is nude. The horse is a light-colored animal standing near a structure with large lattice grids in the background. The setting appears to be an indoor stable or studio with wooden flooring and artificial lighting. Besides a workbench and various tools nearby, the background is unobtrusive, focusing attention on the man and horse interaction.
