A Russian security guard on his first day on the job lifted his boredom by doodling on a $1million painting.
Anna Leporskaya's avant garde Three Figures, painted sometime in the early 1930s, features three humanoid figures devoid of any facial features. Devoid, that is, until the unnamed guard got his hands on a ballpoint pen.
On day one of working at the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Centre in Yekaterinburg, the new employee decided to sketch a set of eyes on two of the figures, in what exhibition curator Anna Reshetkin described as "a lapse of sanity".

I took my GD to see that painting when it was *on loan/tour* at William’s College in MA.
I was surprized it was so large.
**Measuring in at 56.8 inches by 64.2 inches, Whistler’s mother is almost life-size within the frame. **
