Fotoreproductie van (vermoedelijk) een tekening getiteld 'Mephisto klopt op de deur' 1878

This photo reproduction, likely of a drawing, titled "Mephisto Klopt op de Deur" (Mephisto Knocks on the Door), dates back to 1878 and is attributed to an anonymous artist. The drawing portrays Mephisto, a demon from the German legend of Faust, standing at a door, seemingly about to knock. The figure is depicted in a dramatic pose with a sword at his side, embodying the classic depiction of the devil in literature and art. This work likely drew inspiration from Goethe's Faust, a renowned literary work, and represents the dramatic encounters between Faust and Mephisto.
