Editor’s Note:
This work has been one of the more elusive images we hoped to display in the gallery. This is a fine example of how ultraviolet or x-ray analysis could afford us a better view just what is going on in this image. Unfortunately, we do not have that...
St. Anthony’s pig rather difficult to see. It really is there, on the Saint's right, peeking out from behind the pedestal. Below is a close up of the little pig with some adjustments to the contrast of the image to help you see it better.
