James Brown Case is a 1904 unspecified by Ignaz Gaugengigl, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
The painting depicts a man in a white suit, with a dark bow tie and a light-colored vest. He stands in front of a backdrop of dark leaves, with his left hand tucked into his pocket and his right hand holding a cane. The man's face is serious, with a short white beard and hair. The man's attire and the backdrop suggest a formal setting, possibly a portrait studio. The use of dark leaves as a backdrop adds a sense of depth and texture to the painting.
