Written on the back with a pencil It says

 

""Ivory picture given to me by Mr. Falvey""

""Framed 8/20/68      E.S.J""     (..my grandfaters initals..)

""Lower right hand faked by me -old ivory piano keys""  

""Too much? Inferior  ***ching! Dog not bad

               (       ***    I can not make out clearly what the first few letters in above word are)

 

As you can see in the picture -on the bottom right it appears a piece of the original had broken off, so my grandfather replaced that section utilizing an old ivory piano key and did his best to recreate that part of the scene
