Opening, letter body and finish
The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.66×, while the whole image is 2.94 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 3 main ink groups. The lower flourish spans about 64% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
Richard Wagner’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates an enlarged opening and underline with public emphasis. The long crossing lower lines make the ending especially expressive, while the fine connected words supply a more restrained middle rhythm.
