adrianus
Guard
Well, I was not hanging, but standing on tiptoe. Nevertheless it is an awkward position. But Plinio is a very quick artist, he did it in one go, I don´t know how much time this one costed, but less than half an hour. And it belongs to the happiest half an hours in my lifeI was surprised to read that you had posed for Plinio, Adrianus. I was crucified in that position, with my arms over the top of the patibulum, when I was a teenager. I know how excruciating it can be. I couldn't get down fast enough. I don't think I could stand it long enough to take a photo, let alone pose for the time it would take to make a drawing. Did Plinio make the drawing over time in several sessions?
