Helena setzt Demetrius nach, zwischen ihnen Blumenranken c. 1867 - 1868

"Helena setzt Demetrius nach, zwischen ihnen Blumenranken" (Helena pursues Demetrius, with flower vines between them) is a pencil drawing created by German artist Paul Konewka around 1867-1868. The drawing, currently housed in the Städel Museum, depicts the figures of Helena and Demetrius outlined in a faint, almost ghostly, grey against a pale background. Their bodies are partially obscured by delicate foliage, suggesting a scene of pursuit and entanglement in a dense, floral garden. Konewka, known for his illustrations and drawings of mythological and literary themes, employs a simple yet evocative style in this piece, capturing the essence of a dramatic chase.
