Die Elfenkönigin Titania bekränzt den neben ihr sitzenden, eselköpfigen Nick Bottom c. 1883

"Die Elfenkönigin Titania bekränzt den neben ihr sitzenden, eselköpfigen Nick Bottom" (c. 1883) by Leopold von Bode depicts a scene from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" where the fairy queen Titania is shown adorning the donkey-headed Bottom with a garland of flowers. The artwork, housed in the Städel Museum, showcases Bode's detailed and meticulous style, capturing the fantastical elements of the play in a whimsical, yet realistic manner. This watercolor drawing exemplifies the artist's ability to translate literary themes into visual form.
