Robert McGinnis’ Signature on Florinda

Art Scott, the co-author (with the painter himself) of that beautiful 2014 hardcover release, The Art of Robert E. McGinnis, writes that if you magnify this image “and squint a little bit, you can see clearly a McGinnis signature just slightly cropped at the bottom edge. The distinctive ‘R’ is under the first ‘o’ in Broccoli. The ‘M’ is under the first ‘c,’ and the distinctive long-trailing ‘s’ runs well beyond the the Broccoli terminal ‘i.’… I’m not a certified Examiner of Questioned Documents, nor a graphologist, but as a self-made McGinnis authority I’ll sign off on this one as being genuine McGinnis.”
