And perhaps related to such unexpectedly sexual insertions within conventional Christian imagery, the painting below, The Knight with His Handon His Breast, displaying a very obvious esoteric hand signal, meant presumably for those with eyes to see, not that it's exactly concealed. And in the Disrobing of Christ below, Christ is displaying the same hand sign, as is the female in the left foreground. And the same unnatural hand gesture recurs repeatedly through Greco's works, such as below in The Penitent Magdalene. Unnatural in the sense that is a consciously made sign, not a natural or comfortable spread of the hand.
