actually i've developed an intresting theory.

since the presence of priscillas arena inside the painting AND the location of it in the painting (in the world of ariandel its at the very botom of the painting), i somewhat theorised that ariandel when he restores the painting, avoid as much as he can to preserve the memory of priscilla by leaving her arena untouch from restoration, and (i dont know how historical painting restoration work so this is what i assume with the knowledge i had) if you want to restore a painting becouse of the paint have decayed (assuming organic material was used) you actually need to (assuming ariandel didnt change canvas like the girl in the painting) repaint it with a new LAYER of paint on top of the decayed paint, so in the world of ariandel we saw that there are high cliffs surrounding priscillas arena, i assume that those cliffs were the new layer of paint and ariandel avoided repainting the arena to honor priscilla and so that she is remembered.

and the fact that the painting itself have inhabitans inside that decays with the painting it could be that those inhabitants are also the factor that fastened the decay of the painting and shortening the age of the painting from its natural age

i may be wrong and if you have a better one please share it id like to read it
