🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Cannot Read Artists Signature

[Cariboo5]

Painting of The Castle Chillon - Lake Geneva, oil on canvas, signed and dated 1932, 14 x 16 inches unframed, looks like old frame was removed.
Signature is on back of painting and need help in id'ing.... Thanks to all ........

Tried all my tricks to enhance the signature in the image, and ultimately found that I couldn't improve on it, as is.

Smart folks will be around tomorrow, and hopefully one of them can ID it for you.

Very nice.
Mezzo possibly.

I can’t read it, but this may help someone:

Note that it says “THE CASTLE OF CHILLON”, not “Château de Chillon” as it would be known by a native in Switzerland and, above the signature, the words “ORIGINAL COLOR” with an American spelling.

It’s an oft-painted scene by numerous professional artists, and this work might be styled on or copied from one of those renditions by an amateur who could prove to be untraceable.

Thanks all for your input, what Red-Coat says makes sense here .....

Try putting a UV-A(black) light on it and see if it makes it easier to read.
Sometimes it works...

I think, if you find the artist at all, he/she will be American given the titling in English and the American spelling for "color" above the signature.
