The January 1974 "Playboy" magazine featured Nancy Cameron, its Playmate of the Month, on its cover superimposed on the painting in similar style.

At the Old Deaf School Park in Columbus, Ohio, sculptor James T. Mason recreated the painting in topiary form; the installation was completed in 1989.

It also featured in an episode of Family Guy, when Stewie visits an art museum; both times a parody of the famous "Ferris Bueller" sequence.
