This is the last clue on a cryptic quizI am doing.The answer is a place name in the UK(A town or a city)
The only clue I have is "AFamous Oil Painting"
Sorry,no idea how many letters or anything else.

A sample of the clues with an answer in the same quiz is:
Clue "Dick the detective is stupid.
Answer is Dumbarton.

It's alongshot but maybe,just maybe one of our members may be able to help if anyone is a cryptic quiz wizard.
If you can help I will be so grateful as at least 3 people are tearing their hair out over this one.
Thanks.
