How to solve the “Homing Instinct” Painting in Elden Ring

Need some help with this puzzle?

In Elden Ring, Paintings act as scavenger hunts, with players following clues and hints to the location of the Painting's artist. Once they find the ending location, players are rewarded with an item. The key to these puzzles is for players to find the location where the Painting was made rather than the location it depicts.
