Purchased this at a great local auction house, No signature. The plaque on the woman's chest has a word I can't seem to make it out, I purchased it because the subject matter felt so dark, at first glance it doesn't seem... as kind of terrible as it truly is. Any ideas as to origin?

@collectorheaven Did you mean to give yourself the "best answer" solve?

Well, because he is not satisfied with your answers and they doesn’t sound good to him.

Yes. I assumed that it was tantamount to solved. Figured that was the best way to stop the comments, It's pretty much solved. You were an incredible help! Many thanks.

You don't want to stop the comments as more info can be very useful. Someone smarter than everyone else might read this thread. Happened before.

@waxu_93 If I had to guess, I'd say it was most likely a preliminary work for another (possibly larger, probably color) painting. As a way to get the figures in place and make any changes to the composition in this early stage "mock-up."
Hope that was the answer you were looking for, Waxu.
