<p>[QUOTE="Jim Goodykoontz, post: 9602815, member: 82566"]hi, thank you all for your input. i noticed the same issue with the woman's legs. having looked at it up close, i do believe it is conte' crayon as well. my initial take on this scene was that it was some sort of class drawing depicting a lower or working class man(the fellow on the left) seated next to a better dressed woman(turned away and ignoring him as she reads), while another, better dressed gentleman sits opposite them kind of clutching his bag. for me it conjures an image of the subway in New York, but who knows. locally, a friend i showed it to thought it looked German. i'm still hoping someone might recognize the signature, but it doesn't look like it can be identified...thanks again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
