Apart from the cave painings (Lascaux etc) it is maybe
Venus from Willendorf (Austria), a statue of a woman from roughly 25’000 BC, probably one of the oldest artifacts that we know of

The oldest art work that I could say I have seen (that is it wasn't painted on a cave wall):
Is the 4000 year old painting on a stone tablet in the Cairo Museum, Egypt
The reason I say this is that it is a proper picture (a scene), rather than one of an animal.

thats actually right
they are about 10,000 - 25,000 years old
and some of the paintings of animals there are more realistic than what was around 500 years ago.
