Elizabeth Jaxman or ? (....better suggestions)
Charming coloured ink portrait of a reading girl. I have no idea about the artist, Jaxman (what I read) as a family name is highly unlikely. Several other possibilities were tried but so far without result.
Taken from the frame (it needs a nice fresh matt) scribbled on the back in pencil:
tel que ninove
Perhaps a clue leading to Ninove, a city (40.000 inh.) West of (French speaking) Brussels. The portrait was found in the South of the Netherlands, near Belgium.
All suggestions leading to the identity of the artist are welcomed.

UPDATE

The suggestion:
Elisabeth Jarman was welcomed.
So far it has not lead to a candidate for the artist this drawing.
“Jarman” is a relatively common surname and is a plausible reading.
