Need Help With Watercolor Artist Signature Signed Print with Numbers

[DANTE5]

Hi everyone,

I am researching a lot of my artwork.  And this one has always puzzled me on the signature.  It is a penciled signed print, and is numbered.   Measuring approximately 22" X 18".  The signature is illegible to me.  I've research many combinations and am totally frustrated. Please take a look and give me your take on this signature.  Photos attached.  Thanks in advance

I'd email those to a few French or Canadian galleries. The artist is obviously inspired by Monet and though i can't read it perfectly, my initial feeling is that it's J V****y

Quite nice, actually. What quantity is the edition ?

[DANTE5]

Great suggestion Ipcress.  I like you thought it might be J V****y.  The quantity is in roman numeral XCVII/C, 97/100.  Thanks for reply.

[Ipcress]

Roman numerals !

I'll have a check through a database later.

GREAT!!  I am excited! Thank you Ipcress!  I've bookmarked the following link for artist signatures which is a great resource, but I haven't had any luck with this one.
