Miniature Help please. 14 letter surname?!?

I'm hoping someone recognizes the signature on this miniature Persian Cat portrait, as the potential search options are dizzying


This appears to be a lithograph and is 1.3" Wide x 2" Tall

I read the first name as Meia and the surname as an optical illusion

Gliudiloarcere???

My hope is that one of you has come across this name before because with the possible variations in a name that long my normal cross checks are not going to work

I didn't include pictures of the frame as it is a standard 4"x6" faux antique likely purchased at the local Target.

Thank you,

 

Last name Hückelbaum?

 

Never mind what I originally wrote here, see my next post.

 

Name may be Meta Plückebaum.

On that page I see a cat that reminds me of the one in your picture.

Here is a Wikipedia article about her, in German.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Plückebaum

A Google image search on her name turns up a lot of similar cats... many looking upward.

 

I don't know how you got there, Fig, but Meta (and her strange last name) sure look correct!

 

Great thoughts!!! Siggys look different though!! But love the cats!!! That's not to say as she got better or more professional, her signature WOULDN'T have changed!!! Does anyone belong to 'Invaluable' to see what it sold for??

 

Agreed! Not sure how you got there but nice work Fig! The signatures don’t seem to match but it’s a great lead.

 

Well, people's sigs can change a bit. But I know what you mean.

The way I got there was searching for the words Meia artist print

That led to a page saying there was a print signed by Meia Gluckebaum. I had put that in the post that I erased... the link is here:
https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/10731654_751-a-print-of-scottie-dogs-signed-by-meia-gluckebaum

That was really the only result with that name and Google suggested Meta Plückebaum also (Did you mean?) . So I clicked on that...

BTW, there is an eBay thread from 2017 about this artist, with the same ideas being mentioned here.
https://community.ebay.com/t5/Colle...-name-of-artist-on-an-old-print/td-p/27360826

Maybe you could investigate whether there were really two artists with similar names? But the style is so similar and the sigs are not really that different, imo...

By the way, on first sight I also thought the last name looked like Gliudiloarcere!

 

Appears it did indeed change:

 

I think the sigs are different because of paint/print and possibly time.

She has a particular "b" (stroke pattern).

And one is printed, the other cursive. Surprised the capital Ms are so different when used in the signature.

Hi,
Some peoples name change over the years in signage. I am one of the 3 percent of the population whose signature is NEVER the same. I remember once having a new account question me on lots of checks since they all looked forged.

She was pretty good with children, who probably sat still about as well as kittens.

 

A bank clerk questioned something I signed & I explained, A) I have a tremor that is sometimes better, sometimes worse & B) one of the things handwriting experts look for when examining a signature for purposes of authentication is whether it is too perfect a match for another known example.

 

She had a good way of showing how things would look if they actually did hold still.

 

Same here. I actually had to go by the bank and hand in a couple of my signatures. I had polio as a child, so no consistency in my handwriting at all.

 

Oh, and I just remembered how small this print is! 2 inches tall. So perhaps that also had something to do with the way the signature looks? Or could it have been miniaturized from an original?

 

Think this is likelier. There are other examples of her signature not significantly different.
