    I have this piece that I have not been able to determine the artist. The artist has a pretty distinctive monogram but I have had no luck. The size of the piece is 6 1/8" x 4 3/4". Hoping one of the experts can help me out. Thanks in advance!

    The monogram looks like AK, but beyond that you've got me.

    It looks like an etching. No clue on the signature.

    Making me crazy because I'm sure I've seen that monogram, but darned if I can attach a name to it.

    Why don't you open it up and see if the interior reveals anything? (The kraft paper backing can be replaced at your local frame shop.)

    A clearer, straight-on photo of the image (no glass) might produce image search results.

    OK, Here are photos of the piece outside of the frame. Thanks to all for the extra effort on this one.

    I think the last part of that siggy is 921. Or G 21.

    The pictures are a definite improvement, but still coming up empty.
