How can I find the artist of this print

Its a print with 478/500 in pencil. I cannot read the inscription completely but the top look to say por mon fils french for For my son. Can anyone make out whats underneath?? How can I find the artist

Dear tattooedmomma;
From the photo you've so thoughfully provided, the dedication seems to state "Por mon fil Raoul" which when translated into English means, "For my son Ralph". If the dedication were written as "Por mon FILS" then it would translate into "For my SONS" as the word FILS is the plural form of the word FIL, or SON in English, just as the word SONS is the plural form in English.

Thanks so much. Any odea on the artist? Can you see what is written under the inscription??

Dear tattooedmomma;
It looks like the numeral 6 followed by the date "12/63". Oh and the word is not spelled as POR, it's spelled as POUR. I am starting to forget how to spell in French, it seems...

I should have known that, My french is rusty also..

Dear tattooedmomma;
Artist signatures are most generally placed in the lower right hand corner of the work in question. It's quite rare to find an artist's signature in any other location. The photo you've provided does not show the right hand side of the print. Is there any more writing on the work?

nope just the numbers 424/500

Dear tattooedmomma;
OK then, is the artwork an actual pencil drawing or a print of a pencil drawing?

I looked through a jewelry loop and the drawing is a print so is the inscription. The numbers 424/500 are in pencil.. Thanks so much

Dear tattooedmomma;
OK, now we are making a bit of progress ma'am. The print numbers are almost exclusively annotated in pencil, whereas the rest of the print would be from a printing press. The numbering system is the artist's signature of sorts and most generally it is the actual artist who numbers the prints. Since I have a lead on the year of the print in question I can now research all known numbered prints from the year 1963 to around 1965.

You kick ass! I appreciate your help! Thanks so much!!

I found out through Bonhams that its a picasso repro. I wonder why its numbered in pencil and not signed? What do you think?

It looks like picasso's hand writting by why not sign? is it matted? if so maybe sig. is under matting ,Just my 2 cent's worth. ,HH ALL!
Maybe Matisse? These books are very good&they are online also,you can do some sample searching unless you pay then you can look through thousands of results,Good Luck!

Thanks for your input! It is matted so hopefully there is a pencil signature under it!! I would like to find out the name of the  drawing. Seems hard when there are tons  on the the internet...
