[QUOTE="BaseballGames, post: 4102268, member: 7826"]I think a couple of earlier photos have been edited out of this thread... Now, yes, agree with Van Pop, a resemblance to that Sickert work -- but can't wrestle "Sickert" out of any version of the sig... Aquitaine's reverse-colour pic of the sig makes "Sprat" unlikely as well -- maybe "Sarat" or "Samot" or something? Granted, it's hard to write on canvas with a pen or pencil, but the pained scrawl there, with its mix of upper- and lower-case block and cursive, looks like the work of a child's or illiterate's hand. I'd go with "Samat" or "Samot" again as a guess, and consider the "W" not a part of the sig but an unrelated character or scribble.[/QUOTE]
