[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 585314, member: 8184"]On that one, I have to point to the reed staff. Not, to my knowledge, typical for a shepherd. Totally typical for John the Baptist. When I asked earlier, Mr. Jivvy did think that the OP's piece was supposed to be John the Baptist -- because of the heavy Caravaggio influence (and the reed staff), but mentioned that he found the lack of fur problematic. I think maybe the fur (and the correctly modified genitalia) are hidden under the cloak. ;)[/QUOTE]
