Fotoreproductie van (vermoedelijk) een prent naar werk van W. von Kaulbach: Goethe in Frankfurt c. 1860 - 1890

This photograph by Andries Jager, taken sometime between 1860-1890, is a reproduction of a print after a work by Wilhelm von Kaulbach depicting a scene of Goethe ice skating in Frankfurt. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a moment of leisure in the life of the celebrated German poet and writer, with Goethe in the foreground, gracefully gliding across the ice. The image highlights the cultural significance of Goethe, and the artistic influence of Kaulbach, who is known for his historical paintings and portraits. This photograph is a testament to the enduring fascination with Goethe, and the lasting legacy of his literary works.
