These drawings of unidentified gentlemen are from a sketchbook by Sir William Orpen which came from his French girlfriend Yvonne Aupicq. This implies that they date from the WWI era up to the 1920’s. Any help identifying them would be much appreciated.
This recently discovered photo of a painting by Orpen entitled ‘Scene in Casino at Deauville’ (unfinished) includes many of the Gentlemen.
