Scene from Goethe's Faust, Prologue in Heaven: God the Father is enthroned in the clouds, his left foot placed on a globe, his head turned to the right with a triangular nimbus and supported by his left hand. Mephistopheles stands in front of him on the right with his pointed cap to the left. With his right hand he points downwards to a castle and with his left hand to God. On the left sits a dragon cast down to the ground, and behind it stand the three archangels: Gabriel with a palm branch, Raphael with a spear (or pilgrim’s staff), and Michael with a sword and shield.
