Image description:Almost the entire image consists of dark grey rocks piled in a quarry. There is a sliver of sky visible in the upper left corner, and it is a grey and cloudy day. In the bottom right corner, a nude man with fair skin and dark hair kneels on one of the rocks, extending his arms outward. He appears very small within the frame—could be missed upon first glance—in contrast to the vast quarry behind him.
