    I'm not sure of the spelling though they all look like prints I think.

    I've also found the name identified as: Aurelio M Roberti and Albert Pierre Roberti.

    I agree with SIS - it is a print.

    I’m examined it with a lighted jewelers loop it’s not a print. There’s not a dot to be found

    Someone who knows printing methods better than I do will probably be along. I know I have one old print that I would have sworn was a watercolor. It doesn't have the dots seen on most modern prints either however when I took it out of the frame I was shocked to find the printing info on the very edge.

    I’ll have them look at it really good when I have the frame repaired

    The framers at the repair shop and the water color was removed and examined it’s a painting not a print. And there was a lot of stuff going on underneath that painting so everything is being repaired and put back together

    I have found 3 identical examples of your picture and one mention of it being a lithographic reproduction of an original watercolor. Traditional lithographs don’t have dots and can be made to look like watercolors.
