Help!

Can anyone tell me about this piece?
It’s signed ‘ecro’ (I think).

 

Welcome, Doug. We prefer you post photos here within your post, full size. Love your piggy-wig.

 

That’s Suzy!

 

I can’t post full size because I live too far out in the sticks! Here’s what Ican do.

 

I Think the artist is E.C. Rost

 

That would be interesting, but I am not so certain. What made you think that?

 

Were you able to match that signature against works confirmed to be his?

 

I thought it was Ecro. I asked my fiancé and she

Looks legitimate

 

Well, I guess you don't need us, then.

 

Oh I need help. I’m just posting my thoughts.

 

I think you have hit it. If anyone disagrees, they will let you know. Good job with the photos.

 

Okay. Then let me ask where the "legitimate" ones were found online. Would you share links to them? I ask because I found several for which the handwriting was considerably neater and more "artist-like."

 

I just did side-by-sides with zoomed in signatures from pics online. Nothing very thorough.

 

Let me ask something else then. Where on your etching did you find this signature?

 

And this is just a comment - it appears that what you have is only part of the original image. There's an awful lot missing on both sides. Even if that signature turns out to be legitimate, the value of what is left is significantly impaired.

 

Appears intact

 

You'll have to take it out of the frame to know that for sure.

 

Just noticed this
