Apart from the word “Madonna” there’s seen be to 2 names it. Or is the one a name and the other something els? Did search but no luck..

    It was obviously taken out of the frame at some stage (hence the more modern staples replacement) The size is 28x21cm..Any thoughts on the age and names? Thank you for any comments

    It says "Holzschnitt", which is German for woodcut. There is something before Holzschnitt, but I can't read what it is. Could be "Orig", which stands for Original.
    When Germans say Original Holzschnitt, they mean a real woodcut, handcarved block and handprinted.

    I think the siggy says: G. Wendering, which I recognize with my Dutch eyes as a name from the German-Dutch border region, the Saxon part of both countries.

    Hi AJ,absolutely great info
    and knowledge. Thank you so much. I would have never figured the german ‘woodcut’ word out. Was searching variations of a another possible name. Also got to G. Wendering (will search the name again)

    It says that Wendling was mostly known for his Impressionist church windows.

    Agreed. Very impressive research skills and knowledge from Roaring. Makes me think of ‘fastest fingers first’ for research!
