[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 12678, member: 201"]Thanks for the perspective, Lilfont. Sounds like the way I should go. The more I've looked at examples on the web, the more I think there really is a chance that most of the sketches were done by Raphael Soyer. In particular, several of the sketches are nudes, and the poses and techniques to my eye look very much like his work. Soyer lived about 5 miles from where my aunt and uncle had their summer home in Connecticut, and his studio was very close to where at least one of the sketch pads was purchased in Manhattan. So at least it seems feasible. If the MFA in Boston can't help, I think I saw previously that a museum in Connecticut has a Soyer collection.[/QUOTE]
