He'd never do it.   Only members of the Black 
family can order him around and I don't think 
he'd do it even then.
 
As we've seen Kreacher is insane enough to 
ignore whatever makes houseelves obey their 
masters.  He should have obeyed and looked 
after Sirius,  blood traitor or not, but we 
all know what happened.
      
Also, I'd guess that anyone who'd put a 
permanent sticking charm on the back of the 
painting protected the front as well.  Nice 
idea though.  I personally would love for 
Hermione, the muggleborn, to do it.  
Mrs. Black would hate that.  I'm sure 
Professor Dumbledore would let Hermione 
borrow the ear muffs they used to repot 
mandrakes for such a worthy task.
 
I think the cabinet idea would be best that 
or knocking the wall down from the opposite 
side). Reductor!
 
Other options would be to wall over her 
portrait or magically whisk the whole wall 
away.
