Maybe that's why it's unsigned

It's a great painting but yeah it does look like someone had to explain what a child is to the artist who'd never heard of such a thing and wasn't really paying attention to the explanation.

I can almost see him sitting there, disgruntled over his orange and looking like an overgrown infant.

Which one is the overgrown infant? Putin or the orange?

When your unruly daughter won't even sit still for a measly 30 hours to have her picture painted, so you have to sit in for her

I can understand why they didn't sign it.

I respect Rory Kinnear as an actor, but they could have cast someone younger.

Not at all sure - could well be.
