Koen Gh,
You asked for parallels to that pose. I found four to add to the many already on this thread, and explained what they are and how the four are connected. I have not expressed any general opinion about whether or not the Voynich contains alchemical imagery, because that is not the topic here.
I don't see why the last image of the four is more "relevant" to understand the pose, considering it is the latest one (17thC). To me, the earlier ones are far more interesting than the Ashmole one.
