Former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has had the image of ex-wife Maria Shriver terminated [from his official government portrait](http://pagesix.com/2014/09/10/arnold-schwarzenegger-had-maria-shriver-scrubbed-from-portrait/ "undefined"). The 6-foot-high oil painting was noticeably lacking the depiction of a small pin featuring Shriver that was worn on Schwarzenegger’s suit lapel when the work was unveiled at the California Capitol in Sacramento on Monday, the New York _Post_ reports. Schwarzenegger sat for the portrait in 2003. “Whoever touched it up did not do a very good job,” Richard Granis, a tour guide for the capitol, told the _Post_. “It was softball sized, right there on his left lapel.” Schwarzenegger and Shriver separated in 2011, though their divorce has not yet been finalized. \[[_New York Post_](http://pagesix.com/2014/09/10/arnold-schwarzenegger-had-maria-shriver-scrubbed-from-portrait/ "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3330713/arnold-schwarzenegger-maria-shriver-painting/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3330713/arnold-schwarzenegger-maria-shriver-painting/"},"headline":"Arnold Schwarzenegger Removes Ex-Wife From Governor Portrait","datePublished":"2014-09-12T01:01:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:13:08.689Z","description":"A failed marriage can really tarnish your legacy—if by \"legacy\" you mean a 6-foot-tall oil painting","url":"https://time.com/3330713/arnold-schwarzenegger-maria-shriver-painting/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Arnold Schwarzenegger","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt655bb0153e98ef37/6986a2f8810bbb1f9dc9361b/arnold-schwarzenegger.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt655bb0153e98ef37/6986a2f8810bbb1f9dc9361b/arnold-schwarzenegger.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Former Gov.
