Unknown artist (Title unknown)

There are newspaper reports of the 1921 Archibald that refer to various portraits only by the professions of the sitters.

An article in The Bulletin on 26 January 1922 mentions ‘a Brisbane musician’ and The Daily Telegraph on 23 December 1921 mentions ‘a poet’. Nothing else is known about the artists or the sitters.

These may each be a separate portrait by any one of the 25 artists currently listed in the prizes archive for the 2021 Archibald Prize exhibition or may be one of the unidentified subjects in portraits by Mary Cecil Allen, George Bell, Clewin Harcourt, Polly Hurry, Frank Latimer, Stanley Lloyd and William Macleod.
