Just this - portrait of an unknown young man, "Circle of Augustus John"

 

This was recently shown online as being for sale at Spitalfields House - Phillip Lucas, United Kingdom. And I know nothing more than that. Not the artist, not the sitter. Not what prompted the attribution to the "circle" of Augustus John. The small painting looks to be in poor condition and/or dirty and/or poorly photographed. But I find it rather compelling in spite of that; there's something about it.


(I've cleaned up the image a bit as a courtesy to the poor, unknown artist.)
