Equus
Mr. Scumbeast was unusually succinct in desribing this photo simply as "Equus."
I think Mr S was probably making an allusion to the 1973 play Equus by Peter Shaffer which was based on a true story of a psychiatrist who treated a youth in Suffolk who had a religious mania about horses and had blinded six of the beasts. It was later adapted for the cinema, staring Richard Burton and Peter Firth as psychiatrist and youth. It is a very disturbing piece of drama and has scenes very reminiscent of the photograph above.
Great light/dark contrast. And posterior, too.

ReplyDeleteI knew about the play/movie, but you put it into a context that explains Mr. S's use of the title. Thanks!
