Elden Ring has many side quests and activities to complete that aren't listed in a clear log for players to manage. One of these side activities is finding paintings and going to the location where the painter stood when painting. There won't be any additional hints beyond what is shown in the painting, but tracking down the location will often lead to unique weapons and items.
One of these later-game paintings players will come across is the Champion's Song, which is found in the north at The Shaded Castle. The reward for this painting is the Harp Bow, which is one of the more unique weapons players can find in Elden Ring.

How To Solve The Champion's Song Painting In Elden Ring
The Champion's Song painting is found along the eastern section of The Shaded Castle in the small wooden barn that has started to flood with poison along the bottom floor. After finding the painting, travel to the Rampartside Path Site Of Grace in Altus Plateau. If you don't have this Site of Grace, travel to the Windmill Village in the northern section of the region and follow the smaller path south.
From the Site of Grace, follow the path west but stay close to the base of the hill to your left. Once that base meets the ground, turn around and start climbing up towards the top of the hill, with the painter being near a large rock overlooking the Lesser Erdtree off in the distance. Approaching the ghost will make it disappear and leave behind the Harp Bow.

The Harp Bow, if nothing else, is a unique weapon in Elden Ring. As it is made from a harp, it does play musical notes whenever arrows are fired from it. Despite its unique design, the Harp Bow is a fairly weak weapon to be found so far in the game. It can be upgraded but requires Somber Smithing Stones, which are much harder to find and more limited in a single playthrough.
Like most short bows, this weapon comes with the skill Barrage, only it can't be switched off for a different Ash of War. Overall, the Harp Bow can be fun to use when hunting birds to farm Four-Toed Fowl Feet in Elden Ring, but otherwise, won't have much use in combat, even for those willing to invest in it.
