I bought this charcoal sketch at an estate sale in Maryland and I don’t know anything about it. Nothing comes up on reverse google searches of the name or picture. I found an Anna Bass from France (Strasbourg/ Paris), but she mostly did sculpture and her signature doesn’t seem to match very well, from what I can find. Does anyone have any insight?
