I remember seeing a picture of this, so ill hunt it down.
alright, found it!
Here is a painting done by the famous Henry Fuseli and the title is "The Nightmare". It was painted around 1781 and I believe that would have been during the romantism era. I remember seeing this in my Art History course and thought it uber creepy, but it logged itself in my brain. The demon looking thing that is sitting on her chest is an Incubus(sound familar?) and in the shadows you can also see a mare. I think its a clash of all sorts of things.

That is uber funky, but encapsulates the feeling with the colours used in the painting. The mare looks freaky, like its expressing some kind of torment from an 'unknown depth' creepy... moo
