Painting NBT and registry contain a typo: "Motive" instead of "Motif"

Motive

A motive is the reason for an action, the psychological force that propels someone to behave in a certain manner or to pursue a certain goal.

Motif

A motif is a theme or idea that recurs as a pattern in an artistic[1] work. Motifs occur in architecture, music, literature, fashion, etc

[1]i.e. paintings

This is most likely a mistranslation, or a miscommunication*,* or straight up a typo, which leaves it kind of misleading.
