It's when the narrator tries to explain how Smerdyakov looked like when he stopped and stared at things like a lunatic, so he mentions this painting

Proust mentioned this one and a ton of other Whistlers. This particular one is of Robert de Montesquieu who happened to serve both as the model for Jean des Esseintes in Huysmans's novel À rebours and the Baron de Charlus in Proust's In Search of Lost Time

I've been avoiding Lolita for a while, is it good or is it just 'muh pedo desires matters'?

It’s really good. I enjoyed it for the sake of his writing style, which is very ornate and romantic (in the classical definition). Here is the first chapter/page.

In wich part? I think I missed it

One thing I enjoyed about the Doors of Perception was all the paintings and painters he talked about. The backstory behind this painting is super entertaining, it's a bit much to type into here but if you have a minute I suggest reading the wikipedia article about the original painter en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apelles
and the one of Boticelli's recreation
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calumny_of_Apelles_(Botticelli)
which explains what all the people in the painting represent.
