Nope, because it extends outside > the cloak (or whatever it is) at bottom left. Look at this magnified, brightened and sharpened crop of the magnified crop:-). http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17719831&size=lg The inter garment appears to be merely protruding from the outer garment, and there is a suggestion of the inner garment material behind the left hand as well. While it may very iell be a fake there doesn’t appear to be definitive evidence here. Perhaps more telling than the material of the garment on the arm is the bit of blur where it intersects the outer garment and the overlap of the light colored material. But none of that is positive proof of fakery.. Powerful suggestion, yes, but not posit proof. An examination of the high-res version may be much more revealing of course.
