    Maybe that is a Marcel DYF copy?

    The artwork you posses is very indicative of the works of Marcel Dreyfus. The signature also appears to be a spot on match. I have yet to identify this particular piece of work though.

    Thanks to all that have responded. It may be a student copy but it is very well executed, it could also use a good cleaning that would reveal more.

    Thanks again
