Peter Lorre painting

When Hedlund enters the house of his girlfriends new house there is a painting on
the wall that is very gothic of Peter Lorre with an angle dressed in green behind him. Does anyone know which Lorre film this is referencing? I imagine this is a nod to who perhaps originally owned this house.

Not really sure but I believe the title of the piece is "The Green Fairy", a reference to the liquor Absinthe.

The legend goes that if you drink enough Absinthe a green fairy will appear as an inspiration to artists, writers and musicians.
