content: Painting by Paul Sortet (1905-1966).

The USNM accession record for the painting describes it as "Portrait of the martyred king of Rwanda. Killed in revolution in 20th century (194?). Painted by a European."  Based on this information, the painting was originally described by NAA as a "Portrait of Mutara III Charles Leon Pierre Rudahigwa, King of Ruanda."  However, the portrait may depict Chief Kamuzinzi Godefroid, who was a chief in Gisenyi territory. Kamuzinzi's alias was Intare y'akanwa, or the lion with a mustache.

The painting is signed "Sortet" and "Kisenyi-yo."
