About the Item

Striking early 20th century academic nude figure study, produced after an original work by Richard Müller (German, 1874–1954), one of the most respected draftsmen and printmakers of the Dresden Academy. This powerful composition presents multiple reclining nude figures arranged in overlapping poses, emphasizing anatomical structure, volume, and tonal modeling. Rendered with exceptional sensitivity to light and shadow, the work exemplifies Müller’s mastery of the human form and reflects the rigorous academic training methods of the German art academies during the early modern period. The print is signed “R. M.” in plate, indicating an artist-authorized image rather than a later decorative reproduction. The rich grayscale tones, soft transitions, and painterly surface suggest production as a lithograph or collotype after an original charcoal drawing, consistent with Müller’s academic portfolios and teaching plates. Purchased through Michaan’s Auction House, Alameda, this example was part of a curated lot of Richard Müller prints, further supporting its period authenticity and academic origin. A compelling work for collectors of early modern European art, figurative studies, or German academic drawing, and equally suited for refined contemporary interiors.
