The signature is written vertically, from top to bottom in Chinese traditional way. The two characters seem to be someone�s name. Chinese names could be meaningful usually with good wish while others could be meaningless-just sound good. Who knows?
Usually, the first character in your image means walking or marching forward while the second one represents a robust giant or a young tiger. This kind of name is usually given to a male baby in wishing him a strong and powerful man in future.
