Sculpture ridiculed in Spain

A repaired sculpture has been ridiculed as 'cartoon-like' in the latest case of a Spanish art restoration gone wrong. 

The statue was recently unveiled in Palencia city center in Spain's northern Castile and Leon region and almost immediately drew comparisons with the botched Ecce Homo fresco that was infamously touched up by a cleaning lady eight years ago. 

'It's more like a cartoon head than the artistic head of one of Palencia's most emblematic buildings,' local painter Antonio Guzman wrote in a Facebook post alongside before and after shots of the statue.
