Frau mit Leier spielendem Putto 

This pencil sketch, “Frau mit Leier spielendem Putto”, by German artist Victor Müller depicts a woman and a putto, a winged cherub-like figure. The woman is positioned centrally in the composition, with her back to the viewer, as she holds a lyre. She is accompanied by a putto who is looking at her with a mischievous expression. The figures are drawn with a delicate touch, suggesting a sense of grace and intimacy. The background is left mostly empty, drawing focus to the figures in the foreground. This piece, housed in the Städel Museum, is a preparatory study for a larger work, highlighting Müller’s skill in capturing the human form.
