According to my cursive character database, cursive versions of 学 (學) don't look anything like this.

You should give some context. Here’s a guess: 右同此 (*...right side, same as this*).

@TooskyHierot, I love Chinese calligraphy and handwritten characters in general. It looks creative and artistic, unlike the standard fonts.

@AndriyMakukha It looks like the writer practicing calligraphy, for the right column doesn't form a meaningful sentence.

Yes, it is something like that. Probably a housing contract. I doubt it was for practising calligraphy. Couldn't find anyone who could tell which character that is unfortunately.

Chinese handwriting and calligraphy tradition allow for huge variability in appearance of characters.

With these three characters, first two are easily identified as 右 and 同. (Though the writer smooshes together the strokes of the mouth 口 part and the result resembles cursive letter *n*, yet his strokes clearly follow the right order.) For comparison, here are possible appearances of these characters from the *Compilation of Cursive Characters*《草字彙》:

[![右 and 同，from 草字彙](https://i.sstatic.net/YkhhM.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/YkhhM.png)

As for the third character, the right part quite clearly identifies as 匕, which got transformed into S-like or b-like stroke crossed by a checkmark-like stroke. According to the cursive character compilation《草字彙》, this transformation is a typical one for this radical:

[![匕，from 草字彙](https://i.sstatic.net/fO2rp.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/fO2rp.png)

That leaves us with only a few characters that have 匕 on the right, like 比 (compare)，北 (north)，此 (this)，化 (chemistry), as well as more rare characters like 牝 (female animal), 叱 (shout), 吡，妣，秕，舭。Only 此 seems to make sense with the preceding characters.   Moreover, I checked database of old cursive characters, and variants of 此 resemble what you have here most closely:

[![此，from 王羲之書法字典](https://i.sstatic.net/hP5G2.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/hP5G2.png)

So, in conclusion, I think this is most likely 右同此.
