This work holds a special place in my heart. Every time I see it, I’m a 21 year old art student with a camera in hand, sitting for three hours at David’s feet. I took this detail shot of his face, and it was a perspective I’d never seen before—and it seemed to perfectly capture the look of anxiety and determination for which this work has always garnered praise. As I took the picture, I thought, “I could stare at this for hours.” So I did.
