Isn't it odd for a left-handed person to have two right hands in his portrait?
I think it is an intentional sixth finger, for the 6 symbolism.
There used to be six-fingered aliens, so the rumor goes.
So perhaps those are behind it.
Or if not six-fingered aliens, then perhaps a family so inbred (almost like the Hapsburgs) that it produces lots of six-fingered people.
Apparently it's a dominant gene. I met a man who was born with six fingers, but his family decided to cut off the extras when he was very small. You could see the extra space on his hands still.
Looks AI-ish
Where are you seeing this 6th finger?
I only see 4 knuckles on each hand... Just an odd painted muscle, but not an extra finger...
Fair enough. It's definitely strange-looking, and it's subjective of me to suppose that the intention is to suggest a 6th finger. So it's an opinion, but I believe that's what the artist intended, despite the lack of clarity. A different interpretation is fair, but it begs the question what the artist's intention was. Especially because none of those fingers look remotely like a pinky, something anyone who does portraits would know about. To me it looks like he has two middle fingers, and the pinky is tucked underneath.
It's a shit painting, so I don't expect the idiot "painter" to do a good job, hell, they cut and pasted the bushes, that's how lazy and shitty painter was.
The 6 fingers also matches Einstein's portrait of Bill Clinton, the one where's he's wearing a blue dress and pointing at the viewer like Uncle Sam.
I don't see but 5 fingers on each hand. His left hand is drawn backwards, so his thumb is at the bottom.
