A painting worth £740,000 has been ruined after a security guard drew two pairs of eyes on the faceless figures on his first day on the job.

The painting by artist Anna Leporskaya, called Three Figures, was on display in an abstract art exhibition at the Yeltsin Center in the city of Yekaterinburg, Russia.

The guard in his 60s was reportedly ‘bored’ and ended up doodling eyes with a ballpoint pen.

Police have launched an investigation into vandalism, which comes with a £395 fine or one year sentence to correctional labour.
​
Experts are hopefully the piece can be restored to its former glory without any long term damage.

Yes. Well if you look at a real face, he got the eyes on too high. What was he thinking?

Good grief that’s horrible. Must have cost a fortune as well

The view from behind the fella in the sculpture is quite something. I should have included that.
We’re within walking distance of a high school. For years, the students would walk over and place seasonal things over the fella’s nether regions. Small gourd for Halloween, ornaments for Christmas, shamrock for St. Patrick’s Day—good times
And people criticise the youth of today ?

As I've taken up painting and drawing, and am getting to grips with terms like en plein air, scumbling, gesso and other previously unheard of names and terms, I was wondering if anyone else would like to talk about their own adventures in what is a fascinating subject.?
