When I saw Louie Verrecchio's picture of Paul VI at the head of this article, I immediately said, "Those hands don't belong to Paul VI."

.
I knew whose hands they were, though. Those are the hands of a virtuoso pianist, and I know what his name is....
.
Curiously, these are two different photographs, using the same pose, clothing and ornaments (rings, etc.).
.
But if you look closely, you'll see the angle is slightly different, the hands are in a different position, various flashes of light from the many reflective surfaces are not the same, and even the white bow tie's tails are in just a bit of a changed alignment with the coat behind it.
.
So this was likely two frames out of a moving series of frames, perhaps taken out of a movie or advertisement.
.
Still, they are extremely close.
.
Notice too, how the facial skin tone below matches the hands, whereas that above does not.

lol good one! did you google or yandex search?

Gosh, next time I'll try using a search engine. Thanks for the suggestion!
