Brun und Diether auf dem HeimwegIllustration zu_ Heinrich Steinhausen, „Irmela. Eine Geschichte aus alter Zeit“, Prachtausgabe, Leipzig_ Georg Böhme, [1884], S. 69 c. 1884

Wilhelm Steinhausen's "Brun und Diether auf dem Heimweg" is a black and white drawing created in 1884. This illustration, likely part of a larger collection, captures a dramatic scene of two figures, Brun and Diether, returning home through a rugged landscape. The moonlit sky is illuminated by a soft light, casting long shadows on the figures and the mountainous terrain surrounding them. The composition emphasizes the figures' small stature against the vastness of nature, creating a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. Steinhausen's drawing is a testament to his skill in capturing atmospheric depth and emotive detail.
