    This is the best I can do with my wimpy editing program. If the paint is well adhered you might get it slightly damp (spit is often used) to bring out the detail.

    I think you did a really good job with that *wimpy* editing program, s_i_s.

    I took your image down to a grayscale with a little contrast:

    There WAS a Hollywood actor who is the absolute doppleganger for this fellow! In the fifties...60's? Have seen him on TV as well. He plays subversive villians with great menace.

    It's signed with a rúbrica or stylized signature which makes it hard to read. Think Morales is a very good guess.

    Wow! That was quick! There appears to be a date under the signature; unfortunately, eBay seller didn't investigate.

    The label is helpful but not taking me very far. "El arte italiano" was in business as early as the 1920s but can only find one reference to it on internet. The street is an important shopping one in Mexico City's historical district. I would think the D.F. exchange "Eric." refers to Ericsson, the Swedish telephone company that had a monopoly on Mexican telecommunications until 1940 but can't find a list of historical exchanges.

    "El arte italiano" was a taller or workshop. Very possibly frames carved by same craftsman.
