Der Engel aus der _Verkündigung an die Hirten_ 

This pencil drawing by Victor Müller, a 19th-century German artist, is a study for the angel figure in his larger painting, _Verkündigung an die Hirten_ (Annunciation to the Shepherds). The delicate lines and hazy background create a sense of ethereal beauty and movement, capturing the angel's celestial presence as it descends to earth. This preliminary sketch, now housed in the Städel Museum, reveals the artist's meticulous process and attention to detail, offering insight into the development of his final composition.
