Two thin name groups with tall open beginnings
Two finely written groups use larger open beginnings and a low wavy continuation. Narrow upright loops interrupt the first word, while the second has a broad opening return and a rounded right-hand ending. Compare those taller landmarks with the shallow connecting band: the full name stays relatively open and lightly drawn between its larger strokes.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.23×, while the whole image is 3.92 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes below the writing line; look at this ending separately from the slant of the letters themselves.
Loops and the lower flourish
The sample contains 2 enclosed loops and 4 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
Angela Merkel’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates open enlarged beginnings with public presentation. The thin rounded continuation gives the specimen a flowing rhythm, with the taller loops providing localized expressive emphasis.
