About this work

This is an empty wooden frame with a plain, flat panel inside. The frame looks old, with visible wear and patches where the wood is chipped or repaired. The panel itself is a dull, faded brown—no painting is visible on it. The frame’s worn edges and faded panel suggest this might once have held a portrait. The Museum of Ethnography holds it, but the painting itself is missing or removed. Look up moustach, portrait to see how artists handled facial details like mustaches in old portraits.
