‘Jephthah’s Daughter,’ the only child of the Israelitish judge, whom his rash vow consigned to an early death. She is here represented with her companions bewailing her hapless fate: the timbrel with which she went out joyously to welcome back her father from his victory over the Ammonites is loosed from her hands; one of her maidens clings lovingly to her, the hand of another rests listlessly on her lyre, and a third appears in an attitude of melancholy thought.
Julius Friedrich Antonio Schrader was a German painter, associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting. He studied at the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin, then spent five years at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he became a student of Schadow. He spent two more years in Düsseldorf, and later traveled in Italy (1845–47), England, the Netherlands and Belgium and in the last country fell under the influence of the colorists Louis Gallait and Édouard De Bièfve. In 1851 he became a professor at the Berlin Academy.
