This is the best classic crucifixion pose of the bunch.
And views from above looking down the body are always especially interesting.
I like these images because they show the usefulness of the footrest in a crucifixion. Here it is used more for the comfort of the model, but in an actual crucifixion the use of some sort of footrest would extend the length of the victim's suffering, I would think. SJ uses a minimal footrest to great effect in his classic foot-over-foot nailing.

She doesn't seem to have anything holding her feet onto the footrest -
it must be quite hard keeping her soles pressed on it at 45˚.
She could flex one leg and press against the upright to get some relief,
but would soon find the strain on her arms unbearable -
even flexing both (as in your "classic" pose) is increasing the tug on her wrists.
So she keeps her legs straight and rigid, even while she's being whipped!
As to the girl in the "little ease",
I bet she's wishing she could have a good stretch on the cross,
like her friend!

You know, I saw that her feet were not tied down, but it failed to register with me how much stress that would put on her. If her feet were tied down (or nailed), I suppose she'd get some support from the footrest and more from pushing against the ropes (or nails). Better than if her feet were tied/nailed flat against the upright, I suppose. It has to be easier, from a mechanical perspective, to push up and out when your feet are at 45 degrees than when flat against the upright. I'm sure the ancient practitioners of crucifixion knew well how to put their victims in stress positions that maximized the length and degree of their sufferings.

I think if there were nails through my feet or ankles,
my dead-weight resting on them would be hideously painful -
pushing down on them would be appalling self-torture,
with small bones being shattered or forced out of position,
the tendons in between torn by the nails.
Yet the only alternative would be to try to ease the pain on my feet
by hauling on my (nailed) arms, and that too would be unbearable.

Romans dont have footrest.

Maybe not. But this lady has such lovely legs and feet. Wouldn't those feet look so perfect nailed to that footrest!

I was thinking the same thing. With her feet at that steep angle, she would be having to keep exerting pressure to keep her feet from slipping off. She'd have been better off to have her ankles tied, so she could relax her legs.
That is not known for certain. There may have been many variations & foot rests could have been used at times.
She won first prize.The significance of a blue star?
The significance of a blue star?
It may be the hallmark of a merchant from white slave girls living on the European continent.
It is a star, why end no one would buy a slave girl with a blue nose tattooed belly.
