Did Maupassant write a short story about an artist who paints a leaf on a wall to keep a friend from dying? If so, what is the name of it? If not, do you know who wrote it?

[Scheherazade]

I think it is 'Last Leaf' by O'Henry:

In my childhood I read a short story written by Maupassant in which a man kills his colleague in his dream. I loved that short story. Do you know its title? Thank you very much in advance. Orsi
