This portrait is of Colin Ray Jackson CBE, the Welsh former sprint and hurdling athlete who specialised in the 110 metres hurdles. During a career in which he represented Great Britain and Wales, he won an Olympic silver medal, became world champion twice, World indoor champion once, went undefeated at the European Championships for 12 years and was twice Commonwealth champion. His world record of 12.91 seconds for the 110 m hurdles stood for over a decade and his 60 metres hurdles world record stood for nearly 27 years. Moxon's portrait captures the now retired athelete in a moment of quiet introspection.
