I have a very vague memory of this episode, so bare with me. I saw this when I was like 7, so its been awhile. I distinctly remember Lisa either being the primary protagonist in this episode, or just having a prominent room. There was a statue or painting of a famous (fictional) historical figure (?). He was one legged and at one point the kids or someone dig up/exhume/find the man’s remains. They might even have reunited him with his missing leg. ---

I always assumed it was a [reference to Tycho Brahe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_Brahe#Tycho.27s_nose). And then of course his statue plays a part in a couple early episodes, most notably when Bart beheads him. ---

This part makes me think it could be the episode where Marge’s crusade against cartoon violence leads to a boycott of [Michelangelo’s David.](http://babysimpson.co.uk/info/paintings/david_7f09.jpg) However, (A) it’s a Marge-centric episode, not Lisa; (B) David isn’t missing any legs, and (C) nobody digs up a corpse. ---

Jebediah Springfield had written his confession on the back of the painting of George Washington. I agree with the others that the OP is thinking of this one. ---
