Germania's head c. 1832 - 1833

"Germania's Head" is a charcoal drawing created by Philipp Veit between 1832 and 1833. It depicts a woman's head, crowned with oak leaves, symbolizing Germany. The image, now part of the Städel Museum's collection, embodies Romanticism's emphasis on national identity and the revival of historical and mythological themes, reflecting the growing sentiment for German unification in the 19th century.
