Clarke's illustration captures the essence of the scene with his distinctive style, characterized by intricate detail, bold use of color, and a blend of Art Nouveau and Symbolist influences.

The illustration is a visual representation of one of the play's moments, where the line "Methinks, a million fools in choir are raving and will never tire" reflects the chaotic and frenzied nature of human folly. Clarke's work is celebrated for its ability to convey the complex emotional and thematic layers of Goethe's masterpiece through visual art. The piece is emblematic of Clarke's mastery in translating literary works into evocative images, and it stands as a testament to his contribution to the visual arts and the Irish Arts and Crafts movement.
