Painting or print with artist's name & secondary initials

Good day.  I'm wondering if anyone might have the information I am seeking.  I have an old painting or print that has the artist's name but it, also, has 'S L L' in a circle.  My understanding is that a print will not carry a secondary marking.  Any assistance would be appreciated.   Cheers!  (PS - Already asked in the art section but no response yet.)

It could be a collector's marking.  I found an expert to ask on FB.

I don't see why not... That might depend on the arrangement between the artist and the printer who does reproductions of his work. (S L L might be "[something] [something] Lithography")

 

There's also some slim chance that two artists collaborated on the work. For example, in the latter 20th century, Art Fitzpatrick and Van Kaufman were highly sought after commercial artists, especially in car catalogs, where you could easily see their "AF VK" initials in every painting.
