I agree. What confuses me is that the baseline and slant both match known exemplars. It almost appears as if someone traced a known exemplar and placed it in an oven. Like I said, I have a few concerns about it.
Yes, agreed. Very slowly as well - all curves are hesitant, unlike the curves in the sketch which are very clean - but way off in another way. I don't see it coming from Hitchcock's hand.
