🖼️ Description:

Immerse yourself in the poetic interpretation by Professor Julius Schrader, a master from Berlin! 🎨 The daughter of Jephthah, surrounded by companions, sits on the mountain-side, calm yet sad, awaiting her fate. 🌄 As the poet beautifully puts it:

"And she who was to die, the calmest one In Israel at that hour, stood up alone,

And waited for the sun to set."

🎶 The moment is frozen as the harp's music ceases, and the timbrel rests unheeded at the maiden's feet. The group's picturesque arrangement is enhanced by skillful landscape accessories. 🏞️
