Response so far
Unfortunately, turning the job down is not an option. It's not a commission but a gift to a relative's business. Which also means that it will be hung in a public place.
The "client", I suspect, would be happy with most anything but my sense of professionalism and my awareness that it will be publicly displayed make me want to make the piece as exceptional as I can make it even with the poor reference.
It is also, for reasons that I won't bother you with, unlikely that I will be able to obtain more photos but I will continue to try. There are no relatives of similar form and stature to help pose but I might be able to find someone here who is close enough to do so or at least help with parts. I may be left with Marcus' suggestion of doing a value study to see if I can work out some of the issues. Between the various options given here and my own memory of the deceased I may be able to come up with something. Hopefully some better photos will surface though.
Thank you all for your advice so far. Please keep it coming. I can use all the suggestions I can get.
Vin
