A danse macabre (_) 

This pencil sketch, "A danse macabre (_)" by Victor Müller, features three figures in a dynamic, lively pose. The figures appear to be dancing, their bodies rendered in quick, gestural lines. The artist's use of light, almost translucent strokes suggests a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of a preliminary sketch. The drawing, held in the Städel Museum, likely served as a preparatory study for a larger artwork. This preliminary work demonstrates Müller's approach to capturing the essence of movement and form.
