What's her name?
Correct!
I'm going to start a separate thread for 'celebrities as children' pics, because I think it might appeal to some of the people who don't open the trivia threads, (78 ready so far).

Name the artist.
Correct!
Las Meninas, ('The Ladies in Waiting' ), 1656.
This painting is a self-portrait of Velazquez
as seen from the perspective of HIS painting's subjects, (the Spanish King Phillip IV and Queen Mariana), reflected in the mirror on the back wall.

For her six week UK concert tour in 1979, Kate Bush wanted to be able to sing and dance on stage without having to hold a microphone, or stand in front of one. Her sound engineer improvised a headset by using a wire clothes hanger.
It's possible than the only time Kate ever performed on television while holding a microphone was on the first episode of the 1978 UK music show Revolver:
I think all of her 1978 performances on UK and European 'hits' shows were lip synched to studio recordings.
Kate Bush rarely performs live, and she has never performed a full concert outside of the UK. I believe her only North American live performance was in season 4, episode 8 of Saturday Night Live, (December, 1978).
I just uploaded Kate Bush - Live at Hammersmith Odeon 1979 to archive(dot)org. Download it here, or watch it online sometime after noon on September 30 here.
My upload is a Matroska, (.mkv), video file, and the online viewer only plays .mp4 video type, so the compressed version is currently in the processing batch.

Kirk Douglas starred in the film "The Glass Menagerie", in which a woman has a collection of glass animal figurines. His son Michael Douglas, starred in a film in which there is a scene with glass animal figurines, an apparent tribute to his father perhaps? Name the flick.

Other than Schroeder, which Rock singer/ song writer plays piano with a bust of Beethoven on top?
Skid Roper.
I saw Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper a couple of times in the late 1980's, (Rivoli and El Mocambo). Skid played 'washtub bass' - a broom handle on top of an upside down metal pot, with one string, made of string. Skid usually sang lead vocals on one song per show, often In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.
Carel Fabritius.
The Goldfinch; View of Delft with a Musical Instrument Seller's Stall.
Fabritius, (1622 - 1654), died in the explosion of the Delft gunpowder magazine, which destroyed one-quarter of the city, including his studio and most of his paintings.
Other than Schroeder, which Rock singer/ song writer plays piano with a bust of Beethoven on top?
Nope.
