Signed Photographic Print with Cursive Signature

This item consists of a photographic print, seemingly on paper, featuring a prominent cursive signature. The signature, which appears to read 'Mariana' or similar, is applied in a dark, likely black or dark blue ink, showing a fluid and expressive hand. The paper itself exhibits a pervasive reddish or magenta color cast, which could be an intentional aesthetic choice of the photographer, a result of specific lighting during the shoot, or a byproduct of significant color shifting and dye fading over time. The texture of the print appears somewhat grainy or soft-focus, particularly visible in the shadowy forms that suggest a human figure in the background. The print is housed behind glass or a reflective surface, as evidenced by the sharp reflections of a person holding a device to capture the photo. Below the main image, a portion of a off-white or cream-colored mat or secondary paper border is visible, separated by a thin neutral-toned line, suggesting the work is framed. The condition is difficult to ascertain fully due to the reflections, but the heavy color saturation indicates potential chemical instability or aging. The style of the signature and the moody, monochromatic color palette suggest a contemporary or mid-to-late 20th-century origins, common in fine art or portrait photography of that era.
