Tom may be correct; this is a Japanese seal and signature, the second character may be a stylized version of 寶 (particularly if someone recognizes the second character of the signature as 寶), though it the seal still looks more like 寛 (broad) to me.

Script and seal look like Da Bao 大 寶(or 寳), which likely is a given name.

Rat is right. It's the 寬 character (broad).
