I recently came along and found this drawing at a Goodwill. My mistake is at first I couldn't see a signature and two I was putting it into a different frame that will protect it when I notice on the computer when I scanned it I seen what looked like a faded signature, my mistake was that I had trimmed it up and I believe I cut over or top of the signature but before I cut it to frame it I noticed the signature faded in pencil. Here are the pictures and what I seen I'm trying to figure out a way how I can restore or read the signature I really have no experience or knowledge how to do it , any help would be appreciated or if you can tell me how I where I can get some help . It in the lower right bottom corner. Thank you 🙏

Don't expect Matisse 😉

This is the one-minute rapid sketch exercise, with live model, known by the French term croquis. All art students do this the first year of art school. I did hundreds of those back in the day.

And every once in a while you make a really good one, one that catches the essence of the model's pose. This is one. I would have kept that one, and maybe even signed it 😉

If you can't see a signature, it's not there. If there is a signature but it's faint and hard to read, you can sometimes bring out a little more in ultraviolet light (or sometimes infrared, but then you need a special camera and IR pass filters). It won't magically pop out, but it can be slightly easier to read.

This is how I found it at a Goodwill . I like frame so pay for it, a few months later I was going to use the frame, when I open it the drawing was there behind the photo, wanted to say this so much like a Matisse drawing by without the signature, I wouldn't know how to get it verified . But thank you for looking at it.
