Yeah. It really becomes obvious when you lighten it some. That's a really ham-handed job of photoshopping.

The teacher’s arm does seem to have been pasted on, but that could be an

The  position of the arm juxtaposed against the cloak makes it appear to be
unnatural. The teacher could have long arms, and the second layer of very loose
fitting clothing might disguise the position of his arm. His left arm would also
have to be bent at the elbow, making it appear to be shorter than the right arm.
So it might be kosher. Although I’d have to say it’s probably a bad fake.
But difficult to prove.

Look at the magnified crop below the main picture. The sleeve is
clearly a different material than the rest of the outer garment. Could
be a different garment under a cloak? Nope, because it extends outside
the cloak (or whatever it is) at bottom left.

And try drawing a mental picture (or a physical one, in Photoshop) of
how that arm is positioned. Where's his elbow? You'll find no remotely
plausible location for his elbow, given the angle of his arm.

I just loaded the image into Photoshop and brightened it up with
Curves. It's even more obviously a ghastly fake.

I'm just about to head off to class but to me this looks like a
photoshop fake that one of my students would do (not very good, that
is).
