Victor Müller created this sketch, titled 'Zwei Putten, der linke von einem Baum mit Pfeil und Bogen zielend' which translates to 'Two Putti, the one on the left aiming with a bow and arrow,' in the 19th century. The sketch depicts two cherubic figures, traditionally symbolic of divine love, innocence, or messengers. Müller, living in a time of evolving social structures, uses these figures not merely as religious symbols but perhaps as reflections on human relationships. Consider, for a moment, the act of aiming an arrow: is it playful, aggressive, or a metaphor for the piercing nature of love? The delicate lines suggest vulnerability and impermanence, mirroring the fleeting nature of emotions and relationships. Perhaps Müller is inviting us to reflect on the complexities of human interaction during a time when societal roles and personal expression were undergoing profound changes.
