7. Had you heard about the criticism of her painting?

It may not have been in the news in the US (it shouldn't be, really, because it's minor). She's just had her first portrait painted, and pretty much everyone says it's an awful picture. So saying it needs to be restored is a joke. Not, I'd say juvenile; just a joke connecting the criticism of the portrait with that of the 'restoration' of the church fresco last year.
