The newspapers refer to her as a patron of the arts; the citizens of Frankfurt and members of the university know her as a benefactor, and the Hessian Regional Association of the German Multiple Sclerosis Society owes its existence to her commitment.

In the rural landscape, figures dressed in monochrome archaic garments appear to be bringing in the harvest while others play music.

Directly below the woman's feet begins a banderol with the following quotation from Hölderlin's poem 'Menon's Lament for Diotima': Come! It was as a dream. For the bleeding wings are already healed; all hope, rejuvenated, lives on! In the background the tops of two trees are visible, their trunks hidden by a whitish wall. More
