When referring to a noun that has an adjective sometimes the indefinite article is used for stylistic reasons ("A triumphant Napoleon poses for a portrait", "an unconscious John is carried out of the rubble by rescuers"). It's common when you're trying to describe a particular scene or describe something in general. I couldn't tell you the specific grammar rule that allows it though.
