This very strange nineteenth-century timber sculpture depicts the two-sided relationship Faust famously had with Mephistopheles (to whom, as the Devil’s representative, he had sold his soul to obtain deeper knowledge“) and Margaretta -- to whom, with his heart, he had fallen hopelessly in love.
The picture shows the sculpture with its mirror behind it.
