Karl Ballenberger's "Dem Heiligen Lukas erscheint die Jungfrau mit dem Kind" depicts Saint Luke, the patron saint of artists, writing in a book with a winged ox by his side. The ox symbolizes Luke's evangelist symbol, and the scene is framed by a brick wall with an image of the Virgin Mary and Child appearing in a window behind him. The drawing showcases the meticulous detail Ballenberger was known for. The work is a prime example of the Neo-Gothic style that was popular in Germany during the 19th century, a revival of the style that was popular during the Middle Ages. The artwork is now in the collection of the Städel Museum.
