Stuck on 41. It's pissing me off because I know I should know them but I don't know them!

has anyone got the eyes in the picture?


I have tried:
Put you/her in the picture
pretty as a picture
paint you a picture
your/her face is/was a picture

Any of those close?

Thanks. After wording it in another dozen ways I finally got it. You're right, far too specific.

One left to get.

In the top right-hand corner there are two pairs of horns/antlers tangled or locked with lamps behind them;
I've nothing for the copper bathtub lamp;
The deer in the top left has a blue band around one horn;
I think that the ram statue is part of the original picture, but there is something in front of it that looks like a tied parcel in a basket.

If anyone knows which of these might be the last clue that I don't have, please let me know which one to concentrate on.

I haven't got it either, but I can't believe the copper bath is not the final clue.
It's taking up too much space to be a red-herring surely?

It's not any of those. It relates to what's happening in the picture.

I still haven't got the guy on the floor (who has fallen out of the chair?). Or the deer spitting water. Is the blue band on the antler a separate clue?

Oh, and the city description painting. Clues please!

The City one is driving me nuts , I can't move on to 44 without getting it .

The fact that its a city is not particularly relevant. Consider whether the information that it is a city is better delivered through visual or lexicological means.

Also bear in mind, it's not just what it says, but its value.

the gold - look specifically at the writing and what would that typically relate to?
sausages - where are they travelling from and to?

I don't know how many variants of "Out of the frying pan, in to the fire" I've typed and the computer still says "No".
"Fool's gold", "Heavy metal". No. Stuck.
