I've been trying to find the remake of the old 1E DMG picture of the adventurer trapped in the room with a skeleton as it fills with water. It was recreated later (in color, if i recall) with a female adventurer in the same predicament.

Can anyone tell me in which book the later picture can be found?

I've seen it a few times over the years. There's one in the revised 2e PHB, with a barbarian. And I know I've seen one in the 3e years. I think the one you're talking about is a 4e image, though - but I don't know the exact source, unfortunately.

It is, of course, an absolute classic. To me, it's the iconic D&D image, bar none.

Ah! Sweet.

I see the one in the Revised 2e PHB. Thanks!

If anyone knows of an even newer remake, let me know. . .

The image you're looking for featured Alhandra, the 3rd edition iconic paladin character as I recall.
I'm pretty sure it appeared in one of the Dungeon Master's Guides for 3rd edition or 3.5, but I can't find it in the art galleries online. My gut feeling is it was in the 3.0 DMG only.

From the revised PHB (2nd Edition)...

From the DMG (3.0)...

Those look about right?

Thanks Weem!

I still prefer the 2e version. Though the original is also freaking cool.

That 2nd edition picture was so evocative... That book had plenty of nice art.

I seem to recall a 1e picture along those lines. I want to say that it was in the DMG, but I could easily be wrong.

Edit: Gah, I just realized the OP mentioned the 1e pic. I feel dumb now...
