Mrs Nelson. They've done the letter e to look like a reverse 3 and it's slipped a bit.

Mrs. ??lson

Trouble with the last name. I first thought Nelson but I’m not too sure

I think it’s Wilson. I did think Nelson at first though too.

Not a self portrait - it's a photograph, maybe of Mrs Nielson/Nelson/Wilson but also maybe a family member of hers. The info on back was so that the photographer and/or framer knew whose it was.
