<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4288812, member: 8267"]You don't say where your comparisons are from, but they are clearly not the same signature as your original painting. There are several important differences - yours appears to be signed McGREGOR, and the comparisons are MacGregor. I understand that Mc and Mac are basically interchangeable, but it seems an individual artist would be consistent in how he/she chose to sign their family name. The Capital Ms and Gs are also quite different. Looking more closely, the "O" between the G and R on yours looks a little odd, more like an A. But I cannot find anything using that spelling.</p><p><br /></p><p>It may be that your artist is simply unknown, and not listed in major references.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
