Help me identify "Piaf" painting.

lutya2 · July 4th, 2011, 12:32 PM

I inherited this piece a while back and I have never been able to identify it. To me it looks like a cat and the word "piaf" is underneath. From what I can see, the artist's initials are L.A.K.

If you could help me identify the artist, the title or give me some more information, that would be great!

Thanks

I wonder if it is a poster for Edith Piaf the famous French singer...also known as 'The Little Sparrow'. Look's like a sparrow perched on the cat. Just a guess.

Are you still in possession of this poster? I was actually at a flea market and saw one and fell in love with it but did not buy it. I have regretted it because I haven't been able to find one since. Are you interested in selling if you do have it? Thanks!

I took another look around and found this print that appears to have the same LAK signature. The artist's name appears to be handwritten below in pencil, but I can't read it.
