An ancient cracked.com article posited that, seen from above - as might be the theoretical perspective of the sculptor - every aspect of the statue represents the subject being in a state of fear, due to being about to fight Goliath, hence the shrinkage.

Unfortunately I cannot find the article, nor prove this to be the case.

    Great article and very convincing. If you look at his face from an elevated position, it's obvious he's scared shitless.

    FFS, David was a shepherd boy facing the Phillistine's giant hero! Yeah he was scared.

    Is this comment literally without content or is my client malfunctioning?
