It is possible that it is an early work by the painter Françoise Grassin-Taffin (1927-1995), created before she used her married name. This hypothesis is based on the signature, the date (1956), and the known biography of the artist, although formal authentication cannot be asserted. An original, decorative work evocative of Toulouse's heritage, ideal for a classic or contemporary interior.
