Die mehreren Wehmüller und ungarischen Nationalgesichter

"Die mehreren Wehmüller und ungarischen Nationalgesichter" by Clemens Brentano is a tale published between September and October 1817. Portrait painter Wehmüller travels to Hungary with mass-produced "national faces" for quick customer portraits, only to discover a plagiarist impersonating him on the same route. Detained by a pest quarantine at an inn, Wehmüller finds himself trapped with strangers sharing eerie tales—while multiple imposters complicate his urgent journey to reunite with his beloved wife.
