This photo reproduction of an 1879 drawing, titled "Gretchen Shows Martha the Jewels," depicts two women in a domestic scene. The woman on the left, likely Gretchen, sits on a bench and appears to be looking down in sadness. The woman on the right, Martha, holds open a jewelry box. This photo reproduction likely comes from a larger series of images, known as the "Faust Cycle," which tells the story of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's famed play, Faust. The anonymous artist creates a sense of intimacy and drama, making the viewer feel connected to the emotions of the characters. This artwork is a valuable window into the popular culture of the late 19th century.
