Though his fate is sealed, the gesture endures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wall around him surges with warriors, yet this figure holds the eye. His pose is graceful, vital, filled with a beauty that mourns its own vanishing.

Captured on large format black-and-white film with a long exposure, the negative was later shaped using classical chiaroscuro techniques.
