An early self-portrait by John Lennon painted during his art school days is up for auction via Christies.
The piece dates back to 1958, an important year for the then 18-year-old Lennon as it was this year his mother was killed in a car accident, he played with Paul McCartney and George Harrison for the first time and he met his first wife, Cynthia Lennon.
The painting is rather unflattering expressionist piece showing Lennon with a pot belly and male mammaries.
