Spaced low words with a long final descent
Oscar and Wilde appear as separated, fine low forms with a conspicuous word gap. A larger opening loop starts the first group, while the surname ends in a long descending curved stroke and small dot. Compare the restrained central letters with that deeper finish: most of the lower silhouette comes from the final gesture.

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 3.26 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 5 enclosed loops and 6 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
Oscar Wilde’s signature in graphology
