Eine Frau tritt einem als Rückenakte gegebenen, umschlungenen Paar entgegen 

This pencil sketch by Gustav Heinrich Naeke depicts a scene from classical mythology, likely from the story of Adam and Eve. The drawing shows a clothed woman approaching a pair of nude figures embracing in the background. The woman extends her arm out towards the pair, hinting at the potential temptation or confrontation that the scene suggests. Naeke, born in 1786 and died in 1835, was a German artist who was active in the Neoclassical period. The sketch, housed in the Städel Museum, exemplifies Naeke’s interest in drawing and his exploration of mythological themes.
