Dear Guy,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry and I hope you had a pleasant weekend.

The presented object appears to be a sanguine drawing on paper with measurements of 13 x 15 inches. The drawing depicts a reclining nude. It was made and signed by the American artist Raphael SOYER (1899-1987). Soyer was a Russian-born American painter, draftsman, and printmaker who belonged to the "Social Realist" movement.
Works by this artist were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 400 to 800 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
Georg
