same body kinetic as michelangelo's rebellious slave or pietro tacca's monument of the four moors in livorno, italia?

This figure looks like he's awaiting freedom. His whole body and face looking towards freedom and just awaiting his shackle to be unlocked.

Wouldn't it be "freed man."

[@antr7493]

I don't believe so because slaves took the last names they wanted after they were freed. They felt like a "freed man" it would be Freedman. Just a guess.
