Are you sure about the spelling of the name? Could the "i" be in fact an "l"?

It could possibly be an l, as there is no dot above it, however it is
the same height as the previous letter and certainly not to the same
height as the following, cursive 'f'.  It may be possible to send a
photograph of the signature, should the same assist.

Thenk you.

ikehedra -

hi.  I could not find either hoif or holf.
However, there is a holfeld who fits the time frame.

A picture of his recently sold, titled "Am Assuan."

Let me know if you think this could possibly be the fellow and I'll
post additional information.

thanks,
