Or Pictures at an Exhibition (wikipaedia link) by Modest Mussorgsky?

(Especially the Emerson, Lake & Palmer version) (Youtube link)

In the UK at least, "Picture" is totally fine shorthand, even today, to refer to a flat 2D thing that might be put on a wall in a gallery, whether it be a painting, drawing, photograph etc. More formally it would tend towards being a figurative (rather than abstract) work.
