Do you recognize the picture in this childrens book?


So, we are reading my daughters library book... and I loved the fact that one of the paintings on the walls is a "cat" version of an artist I personally love..... has anyone guessed the link?

Gustav Klimt! Here is the original painting
FYI this one is a 1907 portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, wife of a Jewish sugar industrial... it was sold around 2006 for a record $135 million to cosmetic giant Ronald S. Lauder (Estee Lauder connection probably)
The children's book in question is "Billy Tibbles Moves Out" such a lovely book which both my girls enjoyed tremendously
