That's all true Koen and thank you. I couldn't make a case for any of the figures being present. What I hoped to show was "vibe"/narrative similarity.
I hoped to show some things I'd considered (towards bottom of post) without trying to make an argument but it wasn't clear. There were many more but I hoped to keep the post short enough to be digestible in relation to the (lack of) strength of content. For example Mary being shown naked or bear chested is strange, but this 1450 example shows it is not unattested. (on a side note, this painting is amazing! imo anyway)
I don't think any of the characters are present, at least not provable in any way. There's just some "maybe" hints.
The art criticism is definitely valid, I just picked something obvious.
This is 15c example (as with others, note neck).
I will definitely take the notes on board and improve posts going forward.
