    I removed it from the frame and found this writing. maybe just the previous owner that had it framed, But can't translate the writing under it. Any help would be appreciated.

    It reads Mr. McCuley

    Not sure on the last bit

    It looks like blais Saint Roth. I definitely think the last word is a contraction of the town.

    St. Blais was not a saint in Rothenburg, but there is a district of Madrid named after him and Rothenburg is on the pilgrimage route to St. James Church in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

    Your reading would make a lot more sense than what I saw. I kept thinking the dotted i was dirt.

    Why does almost any writing, signature or other having to do with art a pain to decipher.. maybe they're closeted doctors
