      Hi
      lundy
      Just wondering it's etching or some kind of drawing.
      You could bring this to some conservator on art research, this look like an amazing find.
      I love it.
      Cheer

      ...the R as you call it -- looks like it could be a Double R -- or even a mixture of letters like " D I R " all signed on top of/besides each other

    30. noob, 10 years ago
      It's not the seal of an archive, Strathmore is the brand of the drawing paper: http://www.strathmoreartist.com/about.html
    31. lundy lundy, 10 years ago
      wow great , it could of been around 1899 or so ,

    34. surfdub66 surfdub66, 10 years ago
      Theres a website - google "artist signatures in monogramme " there in the letter R is a very similar mark , its a log in site so you'll poss have to register to get the artist name ..

    36. antiquerose antiquerose, 10 years ago
      Looks like a "Matronly Peasant Woman in a Bonnet", or a "Pioneer Women in a Bonnet", or a "Colonial Women in a Bonnet" to me

      Well thank you very much for the comment I was hoping it was worth something
    39. apostata apostata, 4 years ago
      i think it,s rather posh Strathmore paper between 1900-1920, i think the pencil sketch is not the best , see the shape desynchronization of the eyes and the lips , still very cute
    40. lundy lundy, 4 years ago
      Thank you for the comment I'm not sure who would sign it With just the letter r
    41. lundy lundy, 4 years ago
