OG10 Q86 中的句型用法, 请进来讨论一下

shirleen

OG10, Q86,
His right hand and arm crippled by a sniper’s bullet during the First World War，Horace Pippin, a Black American painter, worked by holding the brush in his right hand and guiding its movements with his left.

'His right hand....,' 这一部分与主句是什么关系啊？
这种用法好像没有见过，大家有见过其他类似的句子吗？

如果是名词同位语的话，N1, N2的结构，似乎说不同，因为不能还原为N2 is N1.

待解疑～
