I'm not sure what you mean by this

Since they didn't say it explicitly: that is a cropped image from a painting that comes up when one searches for the story about Diogenes the Cynic confronting Plato. Plato had (apparently) offered a definition of man as being an animal that was a featherless biped. Diogenes showed up with a plucked chicken - "Here is Plato's man!".

The source for the story is not contemporary and it may well not have happened.
