I too think this is an illusion; an artist's attempt at  painting a realistic 
pose that shows what happens to the clothing when a child is being held. Most 
other paintings from earlier times are more concerned with content and meaning 
and not with pictoral renderings that try to duplicate the image of the sitters.
