I'm glad I wasn't the only one confused by this. Part of what fooled me was that the Robinson photo seemed to show the thumb on the hand holding the rope below the fingers, which would be an impossible grip if the figure was facing the viewer. But now it just seems like the hand is damaged and you can't see the thumb at all. Funny how some details seem clearer in color, while some seem clearer in B&W.<br>

However, the legs still bother me. It looks like it could be the backs of the knees and the calves of the legs, which again would be impossible if the figure were facing the viewer.<br>
<br>
Well, for now I'll just chalk that up to another optical illusion on my part, or at worst a sculptor who had a hard time depicting the idea he wanted to convey.<br>

(BTW, thanks for sending me the photo Jasper!)<br>
