Painting is a 1930 paint by Artist: C. Boxberg, held at Museum of City History Leipzig.
This painting shows a man’s face in oil on cardboard. It’s a simple portrait with sharp edges and soft shadows. The artist, C. Boxberg, painted Wilhelm Schomburgk straight on, like a passport photo. The background is plain, but the face has depth. You can see each brushstroke in the thick paint. That’s called *impasto*—the paint sits up off the surface. Try looking up the Museum of Ethnography to see more work like this.
