Need help figuring out the signature/writing on Charcoal Portrait

[icedgold10]

I got this at Goodwill today. Yes, I'm a regular. lol  Trying to figure out the writing and who the artist is.  May not be a listed artist but very talented.  Any time period information would be helpful as well, it is a solid oak frame.

maybe if the pic opened we,d be able to see the signature....10 mins...to go..

[icedgold10]

Opens for me in a second.  Need to get those bunnies running.  lol

[bigwull]

nope..not for me....as for the bunnies....well see Mart...she knows all about bunnies....or is it boonies....

First word is "with" last line is "#6 brown" do not think this is part of signature looks more like framing instructions but couldn`t make out other words !!

[mart]

Is it out of the frame ??

[icedgold10]

I took it out for the picture.

"with Glasr (?)" "Glasr" is glass in Icelandic. Might be the subject's last name. Could also be "Glasi", but couldn't find a translation for that.

Third line looks like "Free eh Glasr". 

[mart]

That might have meant "with glass" Charcoal artworks are always behind glass,,same as pastels !!

[Dogaman]

Mart,

"with glass" would make sense if these were instructions for the framer. "free eh glasr" might mean "free glass" or "do not charge for glass".  only a guess.

[mart]

Well, I will take your word for it !! I sure don`t read Icelandic !! Hope that's the correct word ??  Anyway we know then it isn`t a signature but are framing notes !!

[Dogaman]

Mart,

It's called Google Translator! LOL

[icedgold10]

Does anyone have a guess on the age or if the clothing is maybe from Iceland or American?

[mart]

Don`t know about Iceland,, but the narrow lapels and double breasted coat would say mid to late 20`s,, looks like a bowler hat and would go along with that time period !!
