Trivia Pur$uit

Salvador Dali's wife was the model for the Christ figure in the Spanish surrealist's 1955 oil painting `The Sacrament of the Last Supper'. The painting now hangs in the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

I was intrigued by this one, so I went on a hunt.

Follow this link for an interesting comparison. The inset is a cropped piece from the painting.

You can make up your own mind!

Nice work, Detective-Sergeant Fletcher.

Take a pay rise and a promotion.

Seriously, though, that was good scouting.

There is no doubt that there is a similarity in the features - but take a closer look at those hands - especially the index finger of the left hand!

What a 'giveaway'!!
