I’ve been trying to look everywhere but I can’t seem to find any information posted anywhere on this portrait! I think it may be a relic from the 1960s/ 70s, because I could’ve sworn seeing it on the wall of a Monty Python skit and in some other places. What’s the story behind it? It’s so weird! I’m absolutely riveted and have to find out more!

Thanks. 
If you mean the green Chinese lady, it was sort of the Dogs Playing Poker or Thomas Kincaid of its time ('60s or early '70s I guess). A very popular print that lots of people bought, and had framed on their walls, and that became an icon of kitsch and middle-class, middlebrow tastelessness among the slightly more hip. That image appears to be an album cover, probably using the picture “ironically” or satirically (as with the Pythons, no doubt). I am afraid I do not remember the name of the original artist or the true title of the painting, but everyone called it the green Chinese lady.
As usual, wiki has more info
(and the popular culture section does mention several apperances of it on Monty Python, as you remembered).
This seems to be the original image (on flickr)
Welcome to the official site of Vladimir Tretchikoff, the creator of the world renowned Chinese Girl
OMG, you guys absolutely rock!!! 
thumbs up
Thank you all so much-- not just for the artist name and title, but history behind this painting. I spent such a long time trying to Google any information I could on this image and turned up absolutely nothing. Mystery happily solved!
