Männlicher Akt nach rechts, mit dem linken Bein auf einer Erhebung kniend 

Victor Müller made this charcoal drawing of a male nude, precise dating of the artwork is unavailable. In the 19th century, the study of the nude was regarded as essential for artists seeking to master the human form, and this drawing offers us a glimpse into that practice. The model's pose is dynamic, with his weight shifted onto one leg and his arm raised above his head, creating a sense of tension and potential energy. In rendering the male form, Müller likely grappled with the conventions of his time, where idealized and often heroic representations were favored. Yet, there is also an intimacy to this drawing, a sense of Müller’s personal engagement with the model before him. What does it mean to bear witness to the act of observing and recording the human form? Ultimately, this drawing invites us to reflect on the artist's role in shaping perceptions of the body.
