A framed print of this 1922  scene by French artist Utrillo was usually seen on the back wall of the Ricardo’s livingroom on I Love Lucy.  However I spotted it on the bedroom wall in the same ornate frame in at least one episode as seen on the above screen grab.


Typically it is seen on the living room wall.

A Visit to Montmartre

Photo: Deirdre Hayes

I have just returned from a trip to Paris with my daughter Deirdre who is a photographer. We spent some time in Montmartre which is the setting for many of Utrillo‘s paintings including “The Restaurant on Mont Cenis” a print of which is seen on the I Love Lucy living room set. I will follow up with some pictures I took of the location.   (Le Consulat bistro seen in the picture above was the subject of another of Utrillos’s paintings).

Meanwhile here is link to some of Deirdre’s photos from the trip :
