Our latest #FFFind (Film and Furniture Find) is on behalf of a reader who asked if we could trace the painting of the cat that hangs on the wall in Gillian Holroyd’s apartment in the 1958 movie Bell Book and Candle starring Kim Novak, James Stewart and Jack Lemmon.

The film set design in this romantic comedy (directed by Richard Quine based on the hit Broadway play by John Van Druten) is brimming with 1950s style and the cat painting is seen when Shep (Jimmy Stewart) makes a phone call in Gillian’s (Kim Novak) apartment.

We’re not entirely sure who painted the original Pyewacket (let us know if you have any information to share in the comments box below) but Fine Art America artist John Lyes has faithfully recreated this artwork and is available as a canvas or print. Buy here >

You can also buy reproductions of the original film poster at Art.com >

Bell Book and Candle centers around a beautiful witch Gillian who owns a small boutique selling African masks. The handsome book publisher Shep (who she takes a shine to) lives upstairs. Let’s take a look at some of that 1950s style with some African influence thrown in here and there.
