I’m afraid I have no more info for this one, other than it appears to be a watercolor, either digital or physical. “Luchia-a” is the name of the file, with the title above being my own invention.

A gold star to anyone who can track down the original!

EDIT: Thanks heaps to u/PathlessSage for tracking this one down! The French-American artist is a 2D animator and filmmaker, living in Paris.

    Wow, nice find. I spent some time searching around and reading, and it appears that:

    • Despite OP stating “101 Dalmatians” (1996 live-action film), those were in fact created for “One Hundred and One Dalmatians,” the 1961 animated film, with Ken Anderson passing away in 1993.
    • Anderson was evidently strongly influenced by British cartoonist Ronald Searle, who I’ve wanted to post about here for some time. [samples]
    • I asked GPT5.2 (horrors!) if it could find a real or theoretical link between the two images, and it advised that it couldn’t find any, pointing out that it’s quite common for various, interior-living model views to incidentally resemble each other. This makes some sense to me, as the design we’re looking at seems quite possibly based on a real, small apartment layout potentially used across hundreds, or thousands, or hundreds of thousands of places around the world. Maybe / maybe not, but in any case, as Snopes might say: it looks like thatt’s INCONCLUSIVE for the time being.

    In any case, nice work again, ✨ Deebster! ✨

    EDIT: NO! SHUT UPPA MY FACE!
