Victor Müller created this pencil drawing titled "A young woman next to a lifeless figure, imploringly embracing death". Müller produced this drawing in a period that saw shifts in the representation of women's roles and emotions. The depicted woman's embrace with death can be seen as a challenge to traditional portrayals of female resilience and stoicism. Müller captures the emotional vulnerability of his female figure. The sketch suggests a narrative that is both personal and reflective of larger cultural anxieties. The drawing evokes an emotional experience of loss and longing. The woman's plea, rendered through the artist’s delicate lines, invites us to reflect on how societies deal with grief and mortality, and on the historical roles assigned to women in expressing these profound emotions.
