We don't know when the photo was taken, so it may (or may not) be a recent photo.  The dog looks like Amber's dog, Pistol, and its sitting on a pillow that's on Johnny's lap.  It doesn't look like he's got a blanket over his legs to me - that looks like a pillow.  The band-aid on his arm looks as if he's had a blood test which could be a normal part of an annual exam or it could be that he wasn't feeling well and went to the doctor for a check-up.  Another possibility is that, in the U.S., many states require a blood test when applying for a marriage license.  In the Mortdecai thread, I posted an article from a few days ago saying that Johnny didn't show up on set at Pinewood Studios one day last week where they were filming some reshoots for the movie.  He was a no-show on set and several hours later, it was communicated to the crew on set that he had a "headache."   However, I don't know that this photo has anything to do with that.  We don't know when this photo was taken, and the amount of facial hair Johnny has in this photo doesn't make it seem likely that he'd be doing reshoots for Mortdecai.  He'd have to be clean-shaven for that. 

If Pistol is there, then it's most likely Amber who took the photo.  We all know how much Amber loves taking photos!  It just seems like an odd photo to have been released for public viewing.  It looks like a personal moment where Johnny and Amber are together, and he's holding Pistol with her taking the picture.  To me, it looks like they might be on his island.  I wonder if this photo was one that was in with the group of photos that were hacked from her phone.  Another possibility is that he may have also had his kids there and Lily-Rose may have taken the photo and posted it somewhere online. 

Johnny's facial hair is pretty well grown out and his hair looks longer, at least on the top.  We haven't seen him with that much facial hair lately, and he wouldn't have been able to have that facial hair during filming for Through the Looking Glass or during filming for Black Mass or for Mortdecai.   When he was at the GQ Men of the Year event in early September, he was clean-shaven.  That makes me wonder if, after he finished Black Mass, he may have taken some time off by going to his island with Amber, and started letting his facial hair grow back in between when he finished Black Mass and before he started Through the Looking Glass.  His final day of filming on Black Mass was 7/21/14, and Amber was there with him.  She had just finished filming two movies back-to-back, and he had just finished a long shoot in Boston (May to July), so the two of them may have gone to the island for some alone time and so that Johnny could decompress from a role as intense as Whitey.  (Just my guesses.)

There were photos of Johnny at the end of August with Ryan Adams and some other musicians at Ryan's recording studio, and Johnny had a mustache and goatee in those photos.  When he showed up at the GQ Men of the Year awards at the beginning of September, the facial hair was gone.  So this photo of him and Pistol was probably taken sometime between when he finished Black Mass on 7/21/14 and the end of August. 

The last photos we saw of Johnny were from 9/28/14 when he was at Wembley Stadium, and he was clean-shaven there.  That was just 5-6 days after the release of the first batch of nude photos of Amber.  She had already returned to the U.S. and was photographed at that charity event in L.A. on the same day Johnny was at the football game.  We haven't seen any photos of him since 9/28/14, or of the two of them together. 

From the background, it looks to me like the photo could have been taken on his island.  The wood looks weathered with a similar quality that driftwood gets when exposed to the ocean water and air for a long time, the vegetation looks tropical, I can see a palm tree, and it looks like there are wires that might be little white lights strung through the trees.  The candle on the table behind Johnny looks like one of the candles with wax made of a citrus-smelling mosquito repellent that is used here in Florida quite often on outdoor patios.  There's another candle of the same type, but green, sitting on the place where the wooden cross beam is bolted into the tree trunk. It almost looks to me as if he's in an open-sided structure that is up higher, maybe like a treehouse.  In the background, it looks like you can see the roof of another building, so he's up above the roof of that other building.  He also looks to be at the same level with the top of the palm tree that's in the background.  And it looks like he's sitting on a bed - the pillow matches the bedspread. 

So, to me, it looks like he's in an elevated structure like a treehouse, built out of crude wood planks and boards, that seems to be up in the tree-top level, it looks like there's a big bed and a rough-hewn wooden table, and white lights (like twinkle lights) strung all over through the trees around the outside of the structure. 

If the band-aid is from having blood drawn, though, he wouldn't have been able to have blood drawn while he's on the island, so he would have had to do that before leaving for the island.  You don't really need to wear a band-aid for very long after having had blood drawn, though.  Maybe the band-aid isn't from having blood drawn. 

Someone on another Depp board said she thinks the photo was taken around 2 months ago, but gave no indication of why she thinks that.
