This is a damn good painting.

I can't read cursive very well, does anyone know the artist?

"Low Marks Again" - Fyodor Pavlovich Reshetnikov

I'm not 100% sure the scribble that looks kinda like a signature is related. I think someone may have just doodled on the image, doesn't seem to be present on the original painting. Unless you're talking about the part you can barely see at the bottom right.

Thank you for the title as well. The dog loving on him even when everyone else is disappointed in him including himself is so perfect

I was talking about the scribble, zooming in on it it looks very digital actually. Didn't even notice the thing at the corber either lol. Thank you!

It appears to say "RJ II". OP, are you adding this to paintings you post images of, or is it coming from your source? This was on another painting you posted an image of (different artist) a while back, I remember trying to use that to figure out the painter.

Here's another one: https://literature.cafe/post/32612302
