 I
recently acquired a pen and ink drawing of El Jaleo that the seller was
under the impression of being by Sargent. The piece is
signed.
I am no Sargent scholar so I took the piece to a variety of individuals
(Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, as well as a few fine art
experts)
and no one could say for sure whether it was by him. Would you be
interested
in seeing the item?

Thank you for sending the
drawings.
If you take a look at the image of Sketch After "El Jaleo" (above)
there isn't too much doubt in my mind that what you have is a
John
Singer Sargent drawing (or one done by someone who deliberately copied
a John Singer Sargent drawing). The question is -- is it a fake or is
it
real? That I couldn't answer you.
