Original Oil Pastel Portrait Painting on Paper/ Lovely Young Girl Portrait Circa Late 1960s/ Signed by Artist & good Ready to Frame

This is a beautiful original portrait done in pastels on paper. Clearly done by an accomplished artist , it is signed but the signature is so stylized I can't quite make it out. I think it is Beloure or Belous... or something like this but was unable to find anything good close to a match online.

This is one of two sisters I found at an estate sale in Knoxville, Tennesse. I can date to the 1960s based mainly on the other sister's hair style and also the original frames. I removed the frame as it was damaged and very heavy. I'm guessing this sister was between 10-12 when she sat for this.

It is in very good vintage condition overall all. As it was framed, it was well protected. It is taped to a thick piece of cardboard which I will leave it on to protect it. Sandwiching it for shipping. Beautiful light blue background also applied by hand.
