A single wood-engraved illustration showing Gretchen, the character from Goethe's Faust, seated alone at her spinning wheel in her room. The scene includes a leaded-glass window, a basket of wool or yarn, a potted plant, and a rose-vine border. It is a visual source for the spinning wheel and domestic spinning in mid-19th-century German imagery.
