Robert Plant bought a 19th century rustic oil painting from an antique shop in Reading, Berkshire. That painting ended up being used for the Led Zeppelin IV album artwork. The painting was juxtaposed and affixed to the internal, papered wall of the partly demolished suburban house for the photograph to be taken.
The building in the background of the photo located at Butterfield Court in Eves Hill, Dudley England.
Here's a google street view of the building now as it has gone through some renovations since the 1971 photo.

Gee, looks like the Animals cover slightly there. Reading into the two photos splotched in together, one might say, pictures were taken from the home, but good location site!
Now, who is the artist of that painting and where is the actual painting used in the photograph.?
