Einer der Richard III. heimsuchenden Geister, die rechte Hand mit geballter Faust vorstreckend 

Curator: Here we have a compelling sketch by Victor Müller, titled "One of the Ghosts Haunting Richard III, the Right Hand Stretched Out with Clenched Fist." Editor: It certainly strikes a raw, almost tormented chord, doesn’t it? The starkness of the pencil on paper amplifies the figure's intense, accusatory gesture. It looks like it wants to point out social issues. Curator: Observe the line work, the artist’s almost frenetic application of pencil. It contributes greatly to the sketch’s power. Notice how the shading accentuates the musculature of the arm and the tension in the face. Editor: That clenched fist, the pointed finger - they signify rage and retribution, but I read the piece beyond the singular interpretation. The piece transcends its literary root. I find myself questioning power structures and cycles of abuse, perhaps relevant beyond Shakespeare’s original intent, or Mueller's reading. What might we say about the ethics of leadership at the time this was produced? Curator: The beauty of the sketch lies in its preparatory nature, really. It's not intended as a finished piece, it captures a raw emotion through pure line. You are free to draw interpretations based on the power of raw lines. Note the composition and minimal background: it's all about the gesture, isn’t it? Editor: Yes, the absence of setting actually focuses the narrative, amplifying our awareness of inner conflicts materialized externally through that accusing hand, that anguished gaze. This speaks volumes on internalized struggles and trauma made public, the kind royalty rarely reckons with, or, when they do, it becomes historical drama. Curator: Ultimately, this artwork encapsulates the dramatic energy of Shakespeare and the skill of M\u00fcller in visual form. Editor: Absolutely, and viewed from our own sociopolitical context, Müller's vision echoes current dialogues on leadership and power structures—aren’t we always haunted by the ghosts of history and its repercussions?
