    I recognised the brooch or what ever it is on the right corner.
    Bonus is that I have a post card of it from the museum on the wall as well :p
    Not posted in here before - do I post my own image thats slightly obscured?

    Yes you should obscure the image - maybe obscure it a good bit and give a verbal clue. ( be aware that others can use reverse image search engines such as tineye or google) :)

    This is an illustration by an arts and crafts illustrator born in Europe.
    They are not as well known for their illustrations than other forms of art.

    Another clue is in order: the book was written by a rather famous American.

    It's just that my generic, non-brand search engine skills are improving...

    Just a sec, I'll wreck another image and be right back.

    It might be too easy as it is... in any case, I'm only going to say 'Irish', for now.

    I see it says "cropped" - is what is posted the whole image or only a section?

    The colours reminds me of "The Whistle of a Jacket " by Yeats.

    Sorry - no, it's not cropped - I named the file first as I meant to take a chunk out of it, but then thought better of it and I unleashed my 5-year-old inner self on Paint.

    I'm afraid it's not Yeats.

    Time for more clues.

    The artist in question is living. He's from Belfast but lives in Dublin. There's a very tenuous connection, among others, with this, whose 'creator' is also a trained painter... although this could be misleading.

    More clues.

    This was painted around 1994.

    Some of the artist's other works were also used for the theatre, opera, and even for An Post.

    I think I might have killed the thread, with this picture... :/ Either that, or you're all on holidays...

    Would you like some more clues, or shall I just post the whole picture?

    PJ Lynch, illustration from The Snow Queen

    YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

    Well done, Dolbert!!!

    The references,misleading as they might have been, were:

    -Mr Burns playing the part of the Snow Queen
    -Michael Nyman had written that music as a soundtrack for a film by Peter Greenaway, and PJ Lynch won the Kate Greenaway medal.



    EDIT: I know it wasn't a painting as such, but I think children's books illustrations still qualify as art...

    As there is a free go available, and I am unlikely ever to get the ones you guys put up, here is my contribution.

    You will all know this pic which is why I covered up so much of it.

    Just a question, PR - Is the background picture the full image, or is it just a part of it?
