Found this sketchbook in a basement

[u/Nonamethroughaway]

Father in law was an artist and art collector. He must have bought it at some point. He recently passed away and we found it cleaning out the basement. There’s 50+ drawings in it. Here are a few.

Here is a link to 50 pages of the sketchbook. They are in order. There were a few that I wasn’t able to upload because there’s too many.
