Help with work on Paper

Hey Everyone! Bought this very interesting piece today. Having a hard time making out the signiture. Looks to be from the 1980s. Anyone have a clue?

 

I see "Knowles "? Very interesting piece.

 

Looks like it ends in ling (Kn??ling), so not Knowles.

 

Looks like an etching. Just a guess, the first initial looks like an X. The last name looks like Kw something. Image search didn’t pick up anything. I like the piece, I think you have a good find.

 

It’s Definitely an original piece and not an etching. Thank you for all the positive comments. I love it

 

Agreed there is an “ing” at the end

 

Yeah, I thought I was seeing a plate mark but when I expanded the photo it looks like it is on another piece of paper?

 

My second guess is stone lithograph since it looks like areas have been shaded with a crayon. Curious as to why you post your photos like that? I have a heck of time looking at them on my phone, they don’t stay open when you try to expand them.

 

Maybe it’s a Chinese/Asian artist if the first initial is X
