Dark upright words with repeated narrow surname peaks
A large looped B opens the first word in dark connected strokes. The surname begins with a taller M and continues through a series of narrow upright forms, with detached marks above the right. Compare the rounded opening with those repeated peaks: the two-word autograph changes from a broader first gesture to a denser vertical rhythm.

Opening, letter body and finish
The enlarged opening stands above the smaller letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 3.80×, while the whole image is 3.34 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 4 enclosed loops and 1 main ink group. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
