Got it.

Its the great man himself....should have gone to specsavers.....

Whats the prize?

Nah teamy - those goggles look too modern for that long ago: see any portrait of Beethoven or Schubert, and they wore tiny pebble lenses.

What's throwing me is not being able to date the shirt, and the haircut looking so modern.

That's easy! It's Shostakovich.

Looks pretty much like me in my own teens

Caliban, how about a clue? Perhaps when the drawing was, erm, drawn.

As teamsaint has suggested, the answer was staring you in the face (just to the left of my soubriquet)

Here's the complete image, including the title - 1923 so he was 17 ish

Considerable respect?

Wonder who S_A thought you meant.

And well done Pet. You (and DSCH) were rather swish young men!

No, Its our very own Petrushka.

Ah but now I'm 60 think of DSCH as he was in 1966 Actually, I look more like DSCH did around 10/15 years earlier.

Actually, Petrushka was 12 in 1923
