[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9742588, member: 79705"]Perhaps "Moore"? The most famous of which is of course Henry Moore. I do think this style is similar to some of the work he did ([URL='https://catalogue.henry-moore.org/objects/9964/woman-knitting-seated-and-reclining-figures?ctx=4280cb5caf2a2ccd4fda6f7cceddc5da7d7aec4b&idx=269']example[/URL] the woman on the right of this sketch), and wildy, the "oore" part of the signature really resembles his signature. [URL='https://news.artnet.com/market/henry-moore-drawing-bought-thrift-shop-auction-2396781']Like this one.[/URL] The handwriting style is oddly close too from what I glanced at. But the "M" on this doesn't match any version of his signature I can find, and he was really consistent with the style of that "M" for his entire life. His work is probably the most easily accessible of any artist due to the Henry Moore Institute's amazing diligence. You can see [URL='https://catalogue.henry-moore.org/search/*']thousands of his drawings in one spot[/URL] if you want to compare. So, perhaps another Moore? Have you taken it apart to see what might be on the reverse?[/QUOTE]
