Oberon, der indische Knabe und Titania c. 1867

"Oberon, der indische Knabe und Titania", a pencil sketch by Victor Müller from c. 1867, depicts the mythical king and queen of the fairies from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The drawing is notable for its loose, expressive lines, capturing the ethereal nature of the figures. Müller's use of light and shadow enhances the sense of otherworldliness, leaving the viewer to imagine the context and story behind these figures. The sketch is housed in the Städel Museum, providing insight into Müller's artistic process and his interest in literary and fantastical themes.
