Antike Büste eines feisten Mannes im Profil nach rechts 1845

Victor Müller’s 1845 charcoal drawing, “Antike Büste eines feisten Mannes im Profil nach rechts,” depicts the bust of a man in profile. The subject, whose identity is unknown, appears to be from antiquity. The artist’s meticulous rendering of the folds of the bust’s drapery and the detailed depiction of the man’s features suggest a study of classical sculpture. This drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, highlights the Neoclassical revival in 19th-century art.
