"Sitzender Mann aus _Trost (Abschied)_" (c. 1856) is a pencil drawing by German artist Victor Müller, depicting a man seated in a mournful posture, his head resting in his hands, as a woman stands beside him, her hand reaching out to him in a gesture of comfort. The drawing, housed at the Städel Museum, is a powerful portrayal of grief and consolation, highlighting the artist's talent for capturing human emotion through delicate linework and subtle shading.
