What's up with this picture?

If you see closely at Jesus’ hands(His right hand),you can see Him doing a “middle finger sign”(sorry,i dont know what they call it =) ).For me,I dont think Jesus would ever do something like that.
I think its the artist who painted it like that.

I don’t think I see it, plus why worry about it?

Thats not his finger, its the clasp on the belt.

I don’t see it either, his fingers are sort of curled. Whatever the case, it is a serious study -I think English Pre-Raphaelite school influenced, mid to late 19th century so I don’t think they would admit someone giving someone else ‘the bird’.

I agree with the others, He is not giving us the “bird” . I can see His thumb on the outside and 2 fingers under the loop on the belt. Maybe He is trying to be the Fonze,ehhh!!!

I think you’re right (not about the Fonze! ). Jesus was always pictured with his first two fingers partially extended with His right hand raised, which is supposedly how He taught in real life. I wonder if the artist was signifying that since Jesus was conversing with His mother He put away His teaching fingers!
