A vertically oriented lithograph depicts three figures standing before gabled buildings beneath a smoky sky. On our left, Faust, wearing a heavy cloak and dark beard, holds the arm of Marguerite. She stands in the center in a flowing gown, looking over her shoulder. On our right, Mephistopheles wears a peaked cap and smirks while holding a sword. All have light skin tones and stand upon a cobblestone street.
