Hello Everyone,
    Perhaps someone can help me with this inquiry.  Does anyone know of
this painting or of the artist who did this painting?.....
    It is of a monk who appears to be praying but is actually squeezing
a lemon when you look closely at the figure.
    I know this is a strange subject, but it almost sounds to me like
some kind of Northern Renaissance example of  "an allegory of hypocrisy"
or something along these lines.   Any information about this painting or
this artist is welcomed.
    I thank everyone in advance for their kind attention and effort.
Sincerely,
Sandra Rothenberg
