Dargestellt ist die Szene Kap. 23 aus Johann Wolfgang von Goethes "Faust. Der Tragödie erster Teil", in der ein "böser Geist", Mephisto, Gretchen im Dom an ihre Schuld erinnert. Delacroix hatte die Szene bereits in seiner 1828 veröffentlichten Lithographienfolge zu Goethes "Faust" illustriert (Delteil 70) und 1846 in einem Ölgemälde erneut ausgeführt (Johnson 1981–89, Nr. 285).
