Do your know what is wrong with this painting and many paintings of Lord Caitanya?

It does not show the Topknot of Lord Caitanya in Navadvipa called a Chaudri , I was once shown some bhajans in Navadvipa that describes the Chaudri of Lord Caitanya, I am not even sure about the spelling but it is Top knot that both Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda Prabhu had in Navadvipa. Here is a Bhajan by Srila Narahari Sakara how mother Saci made a Topknot on Nimais head when He was a child ,so even from infant lilas ,Lord Caitanya manifested the Topknot and if one sees Lord Caitanyas beautiful lolusface with the Topknot one forgets everything about this material world


Song 11 (Tudi-raga)
1. saci thakurani caru chande
hatana sikhaya goracande
2. mridu mridu kahena hasiya
dhara mora anguli asiya
3. suni sukhe nadiyara sasi
mayera anguli dhare hasi
4. dhire dhire uthiya dandaya
du-i cari pada cali yaya
5. chadiya anguli pade bhume
saci kole lana mukha cume
6. kole cadi carana dolaya
bajaye nupura ranga paya
7. angule kacali sthana piye
nahi ye upama taya diye
8. cari-dike cahe bhangi kari
tahate nichani narahari
1. Saci Thakurani gracefully ties Gauracandra's topknot.
2. Gently gently smiling, Saci says: "Hold my finger."
3. Hearing these words, He who is the moon of Nadiya happily smiles and grasps His mother's finger.
4. Slowly slowly she stands Him up. Taking two or four steps, He begins to walk.
5. Letting go of her finger, He falls to the ground. Saci places Him in her lap and kisses His face.
6. Standing in her lap, He moves His feet. The anklets on His reddish feet jingle.
7. First stroking with His finger, He drinks from her breast. I cannot speak any metaphors or similes to describe how glorious He is.
8. From the four directions everyone gazes at Him. Narahari worships Him.
here are some more quotes :
lasan-muktā-latā-nādha-cāru-kuñcita-kuntalam
sikhaṇḍāṅkita-gandhāḍhya puṣpa-gucchāvataṁsakam
“Hey Gaurasundar! As Krishna’s fine curling hair is bound in a topknot with a strand of pearls, adorned with fragrant flowers and topped with peacock feathers – so is Yours!” (Stavarāja 5)
Yet upon seeing Gaura’s hair displayed so attractively, Lochan Das warns:
jadi bāde vinoda cāde cācora cikhon cūla
tabe satī kulavatī rākhte nāre kula
“Hey young housewives of Nadia – you’d better watch out! For if you look to Gaura’s curling hair and enchanting topknot, He’ll certainly steal your chastity!”

the place is called Nirdoya, NO MERCY, because Lord Caitanya gave up His beautiful form in Navadvipa and took Sannyasa
