A compact centre inside broad overlapping ovals
Small initial-like forms gather near the centre of this autograph. Wide ovals return both above and below them, crossed by a long diagonal stroke. The surrounding loops provide most of the breadth; follow the diagonal separately to see how it links a highly compressed central mark with the much more spacious outer gestures.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening is lower than the typical letter body. The opening-to-body ratio is 0.12×, while the whole image is 2.01 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes above the writing line; look at this ending separately from the slant of the letters themselves.
Loops and the lower flourish
The sample contains 1 enclosed loop and 1 main ink group. The lower flourish spans about 43% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
