Uninterpreted scene 

Victor Müller sketched this "Uninterpreted Scene" with pencil. The figures seem to be suspended in an undefined space, their gestures and positions evoking a sense of turmoil. Observe how the figure at the top right is seemingly pulling the hair of another. This motif of hair-pulling can be traced back to ancient Greek art, where it often signifies mourning, fury, or intense emotional distress, appearing in scenes of battles and lamentations. Hair, laden with symbolic weight, represents strength, vitality, and identity. The act of pulling it is more than aggression; it's a primal expression of grief, dominance, or even despair. The image engages us on a deep, subconscious level, stirring primal emotions related to conflict and suffering. It's a testament to the enduring power of gestures and symbols to transcend time, resonating with our collective memory. These visual motifs resurface and evolve, constantly being reinterpreted across different epochs.
