Not quite. According to several studies, there are some images that look reflected on the Virgin's eyes. These figures appear to include a bearded man as well as other human figures which seem to be praying; these figures look like a family, including various children and a mother carrying a baby on her back -- like many women do in Mexico. Oddly enough, these images conform to the Samson-Purkinje effect on the eye, discovered during the 19th century. The painting of Our Lady of Guadalupe was performed during the 1530's.
