Favourite piece of art? Page 11

My, we are a cultured lot. Have lots of favourite pieces or art. Love 'Girl with a Pearl Earring'. Watched the film yesterday and was reminded of how much I dislike the film but love the piece of art. 'Mona Lisa of the North' is a fair accolade.

Similarly I prefer a lot of the art in public washrooms to that hanging in the Tate Modern.

I don't mind the stuff hanging in the Tate Modern, but some of the stuff lying in piles there is more difficult to enjoy.
Wasn't sure whether to post this pic here or in the "weirdest dreams"-thread.

I played Jonah in a play when I was 11 years old.
