"Die Schauspielerin Franziska Romana Koch als Alkeste" is a drawing by Georg Melchior Kraus, a German artist known for his portraits and theatrical works. This c. 1775-1779 piece showcases Franziska Romana Koch, a prominent actress of the time, portraying the character Alcestis, a tragic heroine from Greek mythology.

The drawing's dynamism and emotive quality highlight Kraus's skill in capturing the essence of performance and its impact on the viewer.
