Quote:One shoulder flap is in the air and the fastening in the air supports the theory of flexibility - it has most likely sprung up upon releasing and the painter made the scene right after the release. At least that is what logic tells me when I look at the flap and the fasterning. I can be wrong, of course....flexible ,yes..........springy? ....not necessarily - as I have suggested, the shoulder guard may simply be thrown back. None of the suggested materials for the Tube-and-Yoke corselet has 'springy' characteristics.....
It certainly conveys that impression though. Perhaps the artist wished that impression to be conveyed. I can't really discern a reason for the fastening to be so.. "alive" if the flap is simply laid back.
How do you see it being " simply thrown back"?
