Puzzle Description:
"The Fat Lady Sing" It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings is a proverb, essentially meaning that one shouldn't assume the outcome of some activity (frequently a sports game) until it has actually finished. I made this puzzle because of a comment someone made awhile back ... You should never judge a person by their looks!

I always thought it was an opera saying. It's not over until the Diva has her aria. I solved this from the bottom up, and I thought it was going to be Elmer Fudd based on the legs. Before that, I fully expected to see an opera singer in Viking getup. :)#12: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Apr 28, 2012
Totally awesome! I was very frustrated with the size of the puzzle making the solving so hard; and yet when I finished it was really worth the effort! Very, very good.#13: Dianne Hamilton (dlh46) on Jul 20, 2012 [SPOILER]
She's a classic beauty! Enjoyable to solve as well. Thanks Nancy.#14: jewel crown (Jewel) on Oct 30, 2016
Awesome image and fun to solve!#15: Byrdie (byrdie) on Oct 15, 2020 [HINT] [SPOILER]
Like Kristen, I solved this from the bottom up and the sides in. Because of the size I took a couple breaks. When I came back from the last one I had the two white areas at the bottom and the "V" of red between them. I thought we were looking at the flip side of this image and what we used to call a "wedgie."#16: Koreen (mom24plus) on May 29, 2022
This could very well be a painting by Peter Paul Reubens and from which we get the designation "Reubenesque." A very nice and satisfying image to solve. A combination of line and color logic got it done for me and the only difficulty came from the size.
Great image and fun solve.
Kristen, you are right. It does come from the opera. excellent puzzle
