Perhaps the Aslan in our world ;-) inspired the artist to with a
picture of this other-worldly ship in his mind's eye, knowing it's
future purpose?  I have usually thought that the painting was more of a
non-specific picture of a ship, and that the details of the Dawn
Treader didn't appear until they actually went into the picture. 
 
I never really thought about the lack of talking beasts in this book,
but you're right!  I guess I was appeased by the other characters who
wouldn't be found in out world, such as the dufflepuds, the dragon (who
never talked... right?), Ramandu and his daughter... The Mer-people who
Lucy sees towards the end seem to qualify more as people than beasts. 
Maybe the animals they ride and shepherd (don't have my book with me at
the moment, so I can't remember exactly what they are... seahorses
maybe?) are talking beasts, but they just couldn't carry on a
conversation due to the water barrier?

I’m rereading Dawn Treader right now and 2 things strike me as unusual:
 
Ø       There is an old picture in Eustace’s house of that someone
painted of the Dawn Treader.  Where did this picture come from?  If it
was a Narnian painter, they would have had to go back in our time to
deliver it here.  If it was a painter from our world, he/she would have
had to go forward in time to see the ship and then back in time to
return to our world.  We know that there is no strict connection
between our time and Narnian time, but this is the only example of
being able to go backwards in time from Narnia to England.
Ø       Other than Reepicheep and Aslan, there is an amazing lack of
talking beasts in this book.
 
Just some thoughts,
