Alright, because I fail at using search engines, I'm requesting pictures of a person cradling another person (preferably unconcious/dead/limp) in their arms. Standing, sitting, kneeling, unconcious person fully held or partly on the ground, whatever. It doesn't matter, I just need a reference for some version of this pose.

If anyone can help, I'd be grateful.

I wish to draw something with characters in that pose, but I don't trust myself to pull it off without reference.

No problem, good luck.

Thanks. :)

Hm... the main problem is that I can't tell where (his right/our left) arm is going...

It's coming around her back, under her arm, and his hand is probably on the right hand side of her abodomen. I think.

I was thinking it might be something like that, but the picture made that seem a little awkward. But with the way her dress is folding I think it must be that.

Probably the most famous example:
