Focus on this artwork and explain the Description.
The sculpture is a life-size, cast bronze figure of a man on his hands and knees.  The man’s head is bent toward the ground, and his posture is tensed as if he is trying not to collapse further.  Both hands and both feet are in contact with the horizontal bronze base, which is approximately two inches thick; his proper left knee is also connected to this base.  His proper right leg is in a position of moving slightly forward.  The surface of the bronze is highly textured and carries a brown patina, with the texture allowing some areas of brighter bronze to show through.  
A rectilinear piece of limestone, about 50” x 65” x 12”, serves as a pedestal for the sculpture.
