Wilhelm Kiesewetter was a German painter and ethnographer. Kiesewetter made two major trips to Scandinavia and the European and Asian areas of the Russian Empire, during which he made paintings and models. This bundle is now in the collection of the Museum Europäischer Kulturen in Berlin. While Kiesewetter's travels are well documented by his own publications, the stages of his life in Germany are still largely obscure.
