Does his eyes being closed mean the same as with his eyes closed?
For example, do these mean the same?
"He stood there, his eyes being closed. "
"He stood there, with his eyes closed."

They do mean the same thing. However, stylistically, "with his eyes closed" sounds much better to me.

In a novel you might find, "He stood there, his eyes being closed.".
But in everyday conversation we would say, "He stood there, with his eyes closed.".
