This image of a reclining nude and a snarling tiger is captioned “La Proie” (“The Prey”) and the artist’s signature visible is “E. Klem.” This signature appears to match illustrations (such as this one) that appeared in the 1930s in the Paris weekly magazine La Vie Parisienne; this link shows eight examples of similar artwork for that publication. This is probably the same artist as the Eugene Klementieff (or Klementief) who is said here to have sometimes signed his work “E. Klem.”, but it’s not certain. His artworks listed here are for the most part quite distinctively different, but this one offers some visual similarities and the E. Klementieff signature visible on it looks to be in the same hand as the signature on “La Proie”. Here’s a capsule bio of “Evgenii Klementiev” stating:

The son of the artist Aleksei Klementiev (1875-1946), Eugène Klementieff spent most of his life in France. A graduate of the famous Cubist Académie André Lhote, Paris, he exhibited at the Salon d’Indepéndant and Salon d’Automne. Known for his portraits and still lifes, Klementiev is best remembered for his murals in the Eglise Sainte Jeanne d’Arc in Nice.
