Can anyone guess what he was doing? Or know its' sculptor perhaps?
I haven't seen this sculpture before till I passed-by at the back of St. Paul's cathedral on my way to another bus stop fwe weeks back. Not usually my route as because of the bikathon that time, my usual street was cordoned off.
A plaque near it says, BECKET by Bainbridge Copnall 1973.
Wikipedia shows this sculptor was from Edward Bainbridge Copnall, a British sculptor and a painter, best known for his architectural and decorative sculptures featuring allegorical and religious subjects.
One such sculpture is of Thomas Becket in St. Paul's churchyard.
I still don't know what it was doing.
All images are mine and are original, taken with my Samsung Galaxy S7.
69 solo :D

very interesting sculpture @immarojas
Is there a meaning behind it? What is the name of it or who is the artist?
Best regards,

the artist is E B Copnall in the title. he liked doing religious sculptures accordingly but am not sure if that's biblical :)

Hmmm his arms would look differently i think if he's falling, like protecting the body posture? it reminds me of a painting in our church where people are in purgatory. their arms look like that as well as their expressions. or can just be something else :)
