Hamlet begegnet dem Geist seines Vaters 

"Hamlet begegnet dem Geist seines Vaters" is a pencil sketch by the German artist Victor Müller, known for his depictions of literary themes. This preliminary drawing captures a scene from Shakespeare's Hamlet, where the protagonist encounters the ghost of his father. The rapid lines and gestural quality of the drawing suggests a sense of urgency and unease, mirroring the emotional intensity of the play's famous opening scene. The sketch highlights Müller's mastery of capturing movement and expression in a simple, yet evocative manner. This work, housed in the Städel Museum, offers insight into Müller's artistic process and his interest in literary subjects.
