A method of restraint that immobilises simply and effectively
simultaneously making the captive vulnerable at the rear
forcing him into an undignified posture that gnaws at his pride.
The head-strap gag enclosing and restricting his jaw
is another powerful affirmation of his captor's control.
It's odd, I suppose, to call this great art, but to me the simplicity of the subject and the uncomplicated setting in a picture that could otherwise be taken as to be photograph at first sight implies a great deal of technical and design skill.
I don't know who the artist is.
