Representation of a male saint breast-feeding

Nov 21, 2009 11:11

A question: I remember vaguely a painting of a a _male_ saint breast-feeding. I cannot trace now this painting. Any help would be appreciated.

Update: benicek has probably solved my badly-defined question, suggesting Ribbera's Bearded Woman from the Prado.



In the meanwhile I found also that in one of the Midrashim (late exegetical texts) to the Book of Esther it says the Mordechay was breast-feeding Esther since no wet-nurse could be found for her.
