Check out:
1) The two tone Red & Blue/Green tasselled cushion
(reversed for Shakespere) for holding "the word".
2) The Black Corinthian columns supporting an arch.
3) Shakespere's nose, mouth, eyes, curly hair,
. thick neck & sour apple expression as
. an amalgam of that of Rolin & the christ child
. (and possibly the madonna as well).
4) The breast shaped disks over Shakespere's head representing
the breast shaped disks in the windows that frame the painting.
5) Shakspere's right middle & forefinger extended in writing
as Jesus's right middle & forefinger extended in blessing.

6) And *Two guys urinating off a bridge*
