<p>An episode in Goethe's Faust, part 1, scene 8. Faust, as a young man with a feathered hat and a cape, holds an elixir from which a flame rises up, and looks out knowingly at the viewer, who, in the poem, is the image of a beautiful woman seen in a mirror. He stands inside a circle of occult signs. Also standing in the circle are Mephistopheles and the witch, and apes ("Meerkatzen", "Katzengeister") holding a grimoire and a torch. Left background, the witch's cauldron from which monstrous animals emerge. Right, more monstrous creatures</p>
