Bearded man with a bone through his nose.
#FotoVorschlag 'Kritzeleien'

This image still fascinates me. I found it in 2016 in an abandoned railway station in Belgium. It’s not graffiti, but it’s definitely more than just a scribble (today’s #PhotoSuggestion). I still have no idea what lies behind this artwork. Gemini suspects it is Auguste Pavie, a central figure in French colonial expansion. Hence the bone, it supposes.

What do you think?

EDIT: @[email protected] pointed me to Leopold II of Belgium (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_II_of_Belgium) and I believe that's it. The article definitely is worth to be read.
