A magnificent colour photograph by Michael Joseph, presented on aluminium and dating from the golden age of British advertising photography.

Set within an atmosphere of theatrical mist, a young woman relaxes in her bath while a majestic white horse emerges in the background. True to Michael Joseph’s distinctive visual language, the image hovers between reality and dream, transforming an ordinary domestic scene into a surreal and unforgettable composition.

Steam envelops the setting in an almost cinematic veil, while the horse—an unmistakable symbol of the iconic White Horse whisky brand—introduces a presence that is at once elegant, unexpected and poetic. The result feels less like an advertisement than a finely composed work of art, reflecting Joseph’s extraordinary ability to create spectacular images that linger long in the memory.

A striking yet sophisticated decorative piece, ideal for a contemporary interior, office, gallery or any space where an original work can inspire curiosity and conversation.
