His left leg resting on his right.

Hi

Is this sentence natural?

He sat on a huge chair resembling a throne, his left leg resting on his right.

Thanks,

Tom

PS: By the way, is there any verb or a more typical expression for the position we assume while sitting when our one leg rests on the other? Cross-legged is different, I assume.
