    Came across this piece at the thrift store. Measures about 31 x 42 in. I was able to identify the watermark as the rooster symbol for Hahnemuhle paper. I believe the paper is specifically cotton rag as it feels very much like fabric. The signature looks very distinct so I feel like if anyone has seen it before it would be pretty obvious. Deciphering the title (can't figure out 3rd word) isn't that much of a concern to me until I figure out the artist. Any help would be appreciated!

    I appreciate the help everyone but the title doesn't really matter to me, since it's an original.

    Yeah, my pipedream was that that first segment was his signature, as it varies a lot but during a specific period had the distinct hourglass look (as you showed) and the second segment was a variation of the crown marking he would do, but I'm not sure. I know he specifically used Hanhemule paper at least once, but due to his rarity it is unlikely that this is his. Good insight.

    PXL_20210623_192356495~2-min.jpg Here's a another image with slightly different lighting. Brings the piece out more. This work feels too intricate to me to be just a one-off artist. Still sucks I cant find them.

    I was able to kind of pick out two of the squares in the lower right of the picture. One looks almost like a car and the other an animal, maybe a cat. Fuels my pipedream a little further since Dali famously had a cat and a grass car that kind of looks like that. PXL_20210623_192356495~4.jpg PXL_20210623_192356495~5.jpg
