Hello Jed Baker,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be a photo-mechanical reproduction print after a graphite study by French Impressionist artist Edgar Degas (1834 - 1917). The image is known as "Drapery Study. Study for Semiramis Building Babylon" and the original work was produced in circa 1860. This print appears to be signed in plate, includes an indecipherable blindstamp, and likely dates to the 20th century.
The original is in the collection of MuMa Le Havre, France. You may find additional information on the original artwork in the link below.
