"Gretchen in the Dungeon" is a pencil sketch by Philipp Winterwerb, a German artist active in the 19th century. This drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, depicts a scene likely inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's "Faust." It features a figure, presumably Gretchen, kneeling in distress with another figure standing above, possibly a representation of Faust. The sketch, rendered with delicate lines on aged paper, provides a glimpse into Winterwerb's artistic process and his interpretation of the literary classic.
