The Entire artwork cartouche and phyle name was painted starting at the top as we see it today. With one arm of the tongs.
The Cartouche loop, and only the cartouche loop was painted starting at the five o'clock position, counter-clockwise ending at the seven o'clock position.

The artwork in its entirety was started at the top.
The cartouche loop, one of many single gestures, was started at the bottom.
Audrey is fully aware of and fully understands this principle, hence her remarks.

All of the above is according to my own analyses based on the methodology previously described.
You are perfectly free to carry out your own analyses and I would recommend that you or anyone else should do so.
