Rory,

I don't see it on the National Gallery website now, but last time I was in Ireland, I saw it in tourist-type places such as the Bunratty Castle gift shop. You might try NPU as well.

PD.

Sure, Ellie Mae looks pretty hot here, but this picture is from the 60's. Her more recent picture shows up on ebay occasionally, still holding her pipes in her trademark pose.
