What we have to look at here is that this is art and which is the older of the two.

that painting is "The Last Judgment "by Hans Memling painted between 1467 and 1471. the Baphomet is an imagined pagan deity, (i.e., a product of Christian folklore concerning pagans) revived in the 19th century as a figure of Satanism. It first appeared in a late 12th-century Provençal poem as a corruption of "Muhammad"[1], but later it appeared as a term for a pagan idol in trial transcripts of the Inquisition of the Knights Templar in the early 1300s. However, in the 19th century the name came into popular English-speaking consciousness with the publication of various works of pseudo-history that tried to link the Knights Templar with conspiracy theories elaborating on their suppression. The name Baphomet then became associated with a "Sabbatic Goat" image drawn by Eliphas Lévi. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baphomet

Yeah Brill, the position of the arms and hands are a masonic influence. Each image here indicates that the creator of each had a masonic or similar background.
