"Is There Anything in my Poor Power to Serve You?" is a notable illustration by the Irish stained glass artist and book illustrator Harry Clarke, created for an edition of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's "Faust" published in 1925. This work is part of a series of illustrations that Clarke produced for Goethe's tragic play, which is considered one of the masterpieces of German literature. Clarke's illustration captures a moment from the narrative with his distinctive style, characterized by intricate detail, bold use of color, and a blend of Art Nouveau and Art Deco elements.

The illustration is emblematic of Clarke's ability to convey complex emotions and narratives through his art. His work on "Faust" is particularly noted for its dark, erotic, and often phantasmagorical qualities, which align well with the themes of Goethe's play. The play itself deals with the story of Faust, an intellectual dissatisfied with life, who makes a pact with the devil, Mephistopheles, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures.

Clarke's contribution to the 1925 edition of "Faust" not only showcases his artistic talent but also serves as a significant interpretation of Goethe's work during the early 20th century. The illustration in question, "Is There Anything in my Poor Power to Serve You?", reflects a specific moment in the play, encapsulating the dramatic tension and the thematic interplay between servitude, desire, and the supernatural that is central to Faust's narrative arc.
