Title: Unknown signed drawing but looks like ?
Post by: gerspee on January 23, 2012, 11:47:24 AM

Have this very nice (older) drawing and can't read the signature but it looks like something I have seen . But the memory fades I think so anybody has some idea where to look and maybe the artist ?  Thanks

I don't recognize the sig , but perhaps you might search around for 'charcoal sketch artists' (?) .
Appears to be a 1972 item (by the date near the sig) .

That's maybe a good idea to find the artist . But I think that's it not a easy one .

I should have also asked if you've examined the back of the (paper) drawing , gerspee ...

I have no clue as to the location (is it an actual perspective , or flight of fancy , etc?) , which would be the only other clue , that I can think of right now .

Is the sig 'smudged' ?  Just asking , 'cuz it looks so in the images , to me ....

Researching can be fun , but if time is money , perhaps your item would be @ least a piece of art to hang on a wall !

Frame/art style is reminiscent of some I have seen in the 50's - 70's.

I also concur it looks like a smudged 72.
