    Hello all,
    Somehow I believe I have seen this image before, all be it a more complete version. 5.5"H X 4"W(just the actual sketched paper, no frame or board). With a number #72 on back. I am thinking AM as the sig, maybe AN? Could be completely wrong:bored:. In either case does anyone know the sig or image. simple black frame had broken glass which I of course removed.

    Looks like in the style of Rembrandt to me. Check some of his sketches.

    Wouldn't that be nice ;) I can see the resemblance in his sketches.

    Thinking I would have a better chance if it wasn't signed AM, :) Possibly a student of or current admirer?

    Wow, I looked at hundreds of sketches, amazing how you found that. Also explains why I was faintly familiar with this subject.

    I really liked the one I have, well that is until I saw it next to the original. He truly was a fluid natural. Guessing thousands of young artist mimic his works as a lesson.

    #72? That’s a lot of lessons :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

    Thank you very much, greatly appreciated your time and knowledge.

    I did an image search using this criteria: "rembrandt sketch woman reading"

    It showed up in the top group of images :)

    So did I, but now that you mentioned it... I used duckduckgo.com and didn't get it at all. Now that I tried google.com it comes up as the sixth image.

    lesson learned. have to use both search engines to expand the search.

    Thanks again, for find and lesson.
