    Could be P. Thys, or T. Thys? Thys is a Belgian and southern Dutch surname.

    And I am with TTA, looks like an etching.

    Signature doesn't look quite right. Nor does style and era.

    Several Rhys Jenkins etchings for sale with same signature, are all those sellers wrong? An error that keeps getting perpetuated?

    Would you be kind enough to post an example? The one I find is not a match.

    It looks like Rhys Jenkins does use his full name. The other prints all seem to be continental and some people have incorrectly attributed their prints to him.

    Sorry for the confusion. I do not believe your etching is by Rhys Jenkins. Rhys Jenkins signs his full name and in some cases I have seen his name included in the plate. I believe the artist that did your etching is most likely from France and only signs "Rhys". Several sellers on the internet with prints by the same artist as yours seem to have "misattributed" their prints to Rhys Jenkins and then that mistake has been perpetuated.
