Two words come to mind to describe the painting that accompanies the obituary: "ghastly" and "travesty."

I was about to include "lie," but decided that a Romantic representational painter of real talent (like Thomas Cole or Albert Bierstadt) might have been able to pull off such a scene, fanciful as it is.

But, hey, you can't argue with a lack of taste! Kincade's customers love his pictures!
