Spinario, or Boy with Thorn.
A classic posture used in art, not unlike the contraposto.
A sculpture
A lithograph
A photograph
Yesterday, as I walked down the alley to my parking garage, I saw a man sitting in a doorway in this classic pose.
It reminded me a trip I took to New York City almost 10 years ago, when I saw a man in Central Park, in the same pose.
Something about that moment reminded me that in thousands of years, little has changed.
A thorn is still a thing to be reckoned with.
