Forum: Subject: Other El
Jaleo studies 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? stephen From: Natasha 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. |
