I usually point to this one, by Rubens' drawing of Isabella Brant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella_Brant_(drawing) although there are a number of others that, for me, vie for top spot. especially Rembrandt's drawings, and certain works of Lautrec, Klimt, and Schiele. Also Cassatt's "Breakfast in Bed". The first painting I ever fell in love with was Raphael's St. George and the Dragon (in the DC NGA); I saved my pennies to buy a print in 4th or 5th grade. Obviously I'm a sucker for artworks with people in them, though I'm also very fond of landscape; the first picture that really opened my eyes to art in general was Turning Road at L'Estaque, by Derain.
