Help to ID Artist of 1931 Pencil Drawing (Italian)

I like it, kind of neat but I couldn't find anything on it.

Good luck.

Thank you so much for the response jcboy!

I simply cannot make out that signature.

This drawing was purchased by my mother-in-law at a "barn sale" in The Bronx in the early 1970's from her next door neighbor, Eugenia Sherman. Eugenia was a niece of General Sherman. She was very old at the time and was downsizing before moving into an assisted living facility. I've often wondered if she was the subject of the drawing.

Again, thank you for the response!

I'm interested, will stare harder tomorrow.

Thank you ossobuco!

Be well.

STILL LOOKING FOR INFO - THANKS!

So far I think the artist's name is Lia Sperranotto, but that could easily be wrong.

Google is bringing me nowhere fast.

Thank you so much for your consideration ossobuco! I truly appreciate it.

Be well!

The last name looks like Spezzano-something. Spezzano is an Italian name.

After Spezzano, the three lines with the sweeping line over it is *exactly* how my husband signs his name and he is the "third"/... III. That probably doesn't apply here if the artist is a woman.

Maybe Spezzanotti?
