'''Scene from Moby Dick''' is a painting that hangs behind the [[Simpson family|Simpsons]] Couch. According to [[Marge]], it has a resemblance to ''[[Moby Dick]]''.<ref>"[[Diatribe of a Mad Housewife]]"</ref>

== History ==
Apparently, Marge drew it herself, as she mused about her wasted talent in front of a disturbed [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]].<ref>"[[The Trouble with Trillions]]"</ref> However, Marge later thanks the painting and looks at its name, since she didn't know it, so it seems like she didn't really draw the painting.<ref>"[[Diatribe of a Mad Housewife]]"</ref>

The family has a cupboard full of spare paintings. After [[Homer]] smashed one over his head, Marge got a new one out.<ref>"[[Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass]]"</ref>

Lisa's pet guinea pig [[Pokey]] destroyed the painting by poking through it after running out of its built habitat, leading Homer and Marge to take it down and replace it.<ref>"[[The War of Art]]"</ref> It is suggested that she has run out of spare paintings, as Homer later gets it replaced with a copy.

The same painting hangs on the wall at the home of Marge's Aunt Edith on [[Martha's Vineyard]].<ref>"[[The 7 Beer Itch]]"</ref>

== Trivia ==
*According to one episode, a safe is behind the painting, although absent in later episodes. In the couch gag for the episode "[[Fatzcarraldo]]" it is present. In the episode "[[Barthood]]" you can see a young Lisa painting it and then it gets put up above the couch.
