I have a simple drawing signed by Margaret Marion Schmidt, dated 1922 and signed on the back with “I drew this when I was 10 years old, Margaret M Schmidt. Is this the same artist listed in this paper? Would she like this watercolor back in her possession? I’d be happy to send it to her if she would like to have it back. I bought it years ago from a small antique shop.
