Skizzenblatt mit Personengruppen und Akten 

Victor Müller created this sketch on paper, now held in the Städel Museum. The drawing is divided into two distinct scenes, each rendered with an energetic, almost frantic, linework. On the left, a group of figures is sketched with a focus on gesture and emotion. Müller uses dense hatching to define form, creating a sense of drama. The lines are agitated and evoke a feeling of emotional intensity. The composition is dynamic, with figures intertwined. The right side presents a chaotic scene, seemingly overgrown with vegetation and suggestion of figures but their presence is ambiguous. This part of the sketch is defined by a network of lines that overlap and intersect. The sketch functions as a preliminary exploration of form, but also challenges traditional notions of representation, and the dual composition invites ongoing interpretation of its meaning.
