new -supposed self portrait of van Gogh -

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2011/08/is-this-portrait-a-long-lost-vincent-van-gogh-painting.html

It is a portrait of van Gogh, but not a self portrait,

The "hand" or touch is completely different as are the use of colors, which more resembles Renoir's soft touch.

It's a pastel and van Gogh hardly ever did pastels.

I think it's a portrait by Donnadieu (spelling?) as the signature on the back says it is.
