Walpurgis Night , Georg Schäfer Museum

Of his graphic work, his drawings on Goethe's Faust are best known. In 1810 he had sent six first samples of them to Goethe via Carl Friedrich Zelter , who held them in great esteem. He brokered the acquisition of the sheets by the Mecklenburg-Schwerin hereditary princess Karoline Luise von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach and encouraged Nauwerck to publish them as engravings. The twelve sheets in total then appeared as lithographs in Hamburg in 1826, 1828 and 1831 and were transferred to stone by himself. One issue is now part of the collection in the Goethe House in Frankfurt . An original of the Walpurgis Night illustration is in the Georg Schäfer Museum in Schweinfurt .
