Is it possible to find out the key size of the signer if we only have the signature

I am writing a tool to warn about weak key usage in a certificate or
CRL. One of the warnings is if it's signed by a cert with a small key size.
But the signer's cert is not always available. I can see that the
signature's size depends on the signer's key size. Is there a reliable
way to calculate this key size? The only existing knowledge is the
signature bytes and the signature algorithm.
Thanks
