Etching of an old scholar in a cap at a cluttered desk, lit by a star-like glow through a Gothic window.

Faust

An etching of an elderly scholar in a cap and loose robe, seated at a cluttered table in a dim study. A radiant, star-like glow bursts through the Gothic window behind him, while books, instruments and a bust fill the shadowy room.

Español: Fausto

Un aguafuerte de un erudito anciano con gorro y bata holgada, sentado ante una mesa llena de objetos en un estudio en penumbra. Un resplandor radiante, con forma de estrella, irrumpe por la ventana gótica tras él, mientras libros, instrumentos y un busto llenan la habitación sombría.

Português: Fausto

Uma gravura de um erudito idoso com gorro e manto folgado, sentado diante de uma mesa cheia de objetos em um estúdio na penumbra. Um brilho radiante, em forma de estrela, irrompe pela janela gótica atrás dele, enquanto livros, instrumentos e um busto preenchem o cômodo sombrio.
