Maybe, originally it was a perfect rendition of a lion but a hundred years later, it got rubbed off and some old lady thought she’d fix it.
It’s happened before!

The painting you’re referring to was made in 1930 and the botched restoration was done in 2012, so less than 100 years.

Do you have the name of the piece? I would love to see it

Ecce Homo.
(And I always have to resist adding “qui est faba” to that name whenever I think about it.)
