    I picked this up at a thrift store for a few bucks. I think it is probably a serigraph and possibly from France or Canada. I could use some help with the signature, I don't have a clue what it is. My cat decided she needed to be in the picture too. Thanks in advance for your help.

    I can't make out the handwriting, but agree that the title could be French (Canadian?), with 'de'.
    Handwriting is of either a doctor or an artist.
    Of course she did.:cat:

    Or South American? The title looks like 'silueta de joyerias'

    Does. With the crossed 7, I'd look to a European artist.

    I cross my sevens, but I'd guess further south or west than Canada too. If it's di instead of de, my money's on Italy.

    When I did an image search it mostly returned Pacific Northwest images. Now that I look at it closer, I think it is a stylized animal. I see toes, a tail and mouth. Maybe a jaguar? Thoughts ? Thanks for the help and ideas.

    Now that you mention this... with that
    the title could indeed be read as 'Silueta de Jaguar'

    Perhaps inspired by Pre-Colombian indigenous art. The internet says this example is from Costa Rica.

    The one in the print has an arched back, more like jaguars in Peruvian pre-conquest art.
