You've got to be kidding! I saw the report this morning on the news. That woman who painted it, seem as though she did a pretty good job! I could have done better than that squirting the paint out of my mouth! Unbelievable! Lol.
I thought I heard somewhere that it was her first attempted repair as she was an amateur painting restorer. If so, I scratch my head and wonder how one qualifies to restore paintings? Do you start with a rare piece? Feel bad for the lady. 80yrs old and trying to restore it, now she is the laughing stock of the world. Not sure if she was being paid or if it was a volunteer thing. I sure hope she was not "hired" to restore it.
