Bert and Ernie portrait

A portrait of Bert and Ernie is a commonly-seen fixture in the duo's apartment, an obvious symbol of their friendship. 
Though initially going through at least two other phases (see below for details), the picture can be seen in both their living room and bedroom, usually hanging above their table lamp.
Picture	First Use 	Description
 	Episode 0132(1970) 	A childlike, loosely-drawn version of the pair, this picture was only used in segments taped for the earlier episodes of the second season.
 	Episode 0135(1970-1977)	The second version is a more accurate, yet slightly stylized version of Ernie and Bert. It becomes the focus of an insert first seen in Episode 0311, and was continued to be used throughout season 8.
 	Episode 1034(1977-) 	The final version used on the series and associated projects. The positions of the duo are reversed, and heavily modeled after the puppets. The picture is used in a season 13 segment originally aired in Episode 1683 in which Ernie compares a well-dressed Bert to his casual look. It was also seen outside the apartment during José Carreras' performance of "He Lost His Duckie," in which a stage with a red curtain and furniture was used as a representation for the apartment.
