This is a preparatory drawing for a larger work by German artist Victor Müller, born in 1830. The drawing, done in pen and ink with gray washes, depicts a figure dressed in historical garb standing before a wayside shrine or image. The drawing is notable for the detail of the figures' clothing and for the way the artist has captured the light and shadow on the figure. There are additional sketches of figures throughout the composition, giving an impression of movement and energy. The drawing is an example of Müller's skill as a draftsman and provides insight into his creative process. The drawing is currently located in the Städel Museum.
