"Auf dem Rücken des Kentauren Nessus überqueren Dante und an seiner Seite Vergil die Furt zum zweiten Ring des siebten Höllenkreises, links und rechts der Furt die zehn Tyrannen" is a pencil drawing by Victor Müller, depicting a scene from Dante's *Inferno*. The drawing features the poet Dante and his guide Virgil riding on the back of the centaur Nessus as they cross a river in the seventh circle of Hell. On either side of the river, ten tyrants are depicted, representing the violence committed against their fellow men. The drawing is held in the Städel Museum and is a preparatory work for a larger painting. This preparatory drawing captures the energy and dynamism of the scene through loose, expressive lines that suggest the movement and violence of the underworld.
