I'm trying to find a picture that I know has been around a while.
It is a woman in a white dress in a pond with lillies. She has red hair and blue eyes and is looking toward the painter (camera, whatever she is looking out of the painting). It's a very popular print and has fantasy elements to it. I want to say she is Ophilia but I just spent the last 20 min. looking at Ophilia paintings on-line and didn't see her.
Anyone have any ideas? It looks like a John Waterhouse panting but it isn't. It is, however, typically found in a place where you can find generic midevil prints.

Ahh, I believe you're also looking for 'exposed flaccid penis in the bush.'

I love Ophelia in all of her forms! Pre-Raphaelite is my favorite movement and I think this one qualifies although I'm not sure of the time period (too lazy to look it up). Here are two more pieces (including my sig) that I love:
Ophelia
Le Mistress Sans Merci (iirc)
Here's the one I thought you meant at first: The Lady of Shallott

You are on fire Silvermouse. Not only did you peg the one I was thinking about "The Lady of Shallott" but you gave me one closer to the image I was after in Ophelia.
Thanks to eveyone who contributed with anything but a limp peepee.
