Good afternoon,
I have been thinking a lot about this, hence I could not respond at once. Here's what I think:
if he has planned to show his artwork after dinner as you has stated in your post, then the reveal could be in the Entrance Hall, where everyone would pass through to get to the Great Hall where they have dinner. The professors are only in the staff room for meetings, which does not happen that often. And most of the staff spend their time inside the castle, unless if they go to Hogsmeade or elsewhere, but that won't happen during a late Tuesday afternoon. It's only classes in Herbology classes, flying and Care in Magical creatures are outside the castle. However, there's also a small door close to the staff table in the Great Hall, that Elias uses frequently. If the masked student chooses to reveal his painting in the Entrance Hall, not only the professors but also many students will see when they pass through the Entrance hall. His painting is only suited for adults. So, if you want him to lose a lot of house points, get detention, having the painting confiscated and receive a serious warning that he could be suspended if he repeats his mistake for exposing an erotic painting in front of minor students, go ahead and reveal it in the Entrance hall. In the wizarding world, an adult is at least 17 years old because when a wizard/witch turns 17, their parents' protections are lifted from them and the Ministry of Magic cannot track them anymore. But even if Stephan who is 16 and put in the seventh year or even if there are a few students who are seventh years but has not turned 17 years yet because their birthdays are in October, November or December - it does not give the right to the masked man to reveal his painting for minors.
Another solution could be that he would send owls to the professors he think would enjoy his painting and ask them if they could meet in the staff room, because he has a surprise for them or something like that. He might earn house points instead.
After he has shown his painting to the professors, make him somehow reveal that he is giving it to professor Dolohov, without specifying which Dolohov and without telling the reasons, please I have planned something
