The Cigarette (Jeanne Daurmont) by Walter Sickert, 1906

He spent his career on music halls and rented rooms rather than polite society portraits, and the sitter here was apparently a young Belgian woman he painted more than once around that time. There's also a small industry of writers who've tried to pin the Whitechapel murders on him — nothing proved, but the story trails his name around.

Erisava: Somebody painted this fast. I can't tell if fast is meant to impress me.

I couldn't find who this is — no name attached, just 'young man,' which feels like it should bother more people than it does.

Erisava: He's clearly not interested in whoever's painting him.
