- Curator's comments
- Goethe fell in love with Anna Katharina Schönkopf (also known as "Käthchen" and "Annette"); after meeting her in 1766, and wrote numerous poems for her. His friend Ernst Wolfgang Behrisch, who advised him in 'all matters relating to Annette'; collected and later published Goethe's poems, the so-called 'Annettenlieder' for which this print perhaps served as a vignette.
