In inventorying my aunt's belongings (as the administrator of her estate) I've been stumped by this print (or etching?). I just can't match the signature to any artists I could find online...
Any ideas?
Sorry the images are sideways! I don't know how to fix that...
Welcome to CW!! Hope you find an Answer here!! Many great art people here!!!
Good Luck

I've got an etching of France artist Léopold Robin (1877-1939)
and you too
Thanks for the idea - I had looked at Leopold Robin, but thought the signatures didn't match... does the signature on your look like the one on mine?
"Rotate your photos.
After the shoot, be sure to rotate your photos if needed so they appear right-side up. Images shot with a smartphone or tablet sometimes do not appear properly rotated on our site, so you may want to download photos to your computer first and then rotate them using your computer’s photo-editing software before uploading."
Excerpt from CW "Help & FAQ's"
When you translate this article from Wikipedia you can see that Léopold Robin signed his etchings with L Robin, the same like on yours.
Léopold Robin, né en 1877 et mort en 1939, est un graveur français, spécialiste de l'eau-forte.
Il laissa derrière lui une collection importante de gravures signées L. Robin, représentant pour la plupart des vues de différents lieux de France.

Found one example of the L. Robin signature which definitely aligns with yours.
Thank you for all the help!
L Robin looks like the winner!
