"Muleteers and Mules" is a pen and brown wash drawing by Italian artist Giovanni Guerra, who lived from 1544 to 1618. The drawing depicts a group of mule drivers and their animals, with a focus on the physical interaction and close proximity of the figures and their mounts. This drawing is now part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, and measures just 135 by 172 millimeters. The drawing captures the artist's interest in the daily lives of common people and the mundane activities of everyday life, often with an interest in the details of their appearance and dress.
