"Mann, einen Sack über die Schulter geworfen, spricht unter dem Spott Umstehender eine junge Frau an" (Man, with a sack slung over his shoulder, addresses a young woman under the mockery of bystanders) is a pencil drawing by German artist Victor Müller, dating back to 1846. The drawing is currently held at the Städel Museum. The composition depicts a man being ridiculed as he speaks with a young woman, perhaps attempting to woo her, with the onlooker's mockery adding a layer of social commentary to the scene. The drawing captures the essence of a poignant social interaction, highlighting the complexities of human relationships and societal pressures. This piece showcases Müller's skill in capturing nuanced human emotions and social dynamics through his precise lines and subtle shading.
