Angel with Lute



We not only live among men, but there are airy hosts, blessed spectators, sympathetic lookers-on, that see and know and appreciate our thoughts and feelings and acts. --Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887)

In 1828 Friedrich Wilhelm Schadow (1789-1862) portrayed Mignon, a character created by Goethe for his Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship.
