About the Item

Powerful early 20th century academic animal study depicting a rhinoceros, produced after an original drawing by Richard Müller (German, 1874–1954), a leading figure of the Dresden Academy known for his mastery of form, anatomy, and tonal drawing. The rhinoceros is rendered with remarkable structural clarity and weight, emphasizing musculature, skeletal mass, and surface texture. Executed in a restrained grayscale palette, the image reflects Müller’s rigorous academic approach and his interest in understanding form through close observation—principles central to German art education of the period. This example is printed on a thin, matte paper with a subtle blue-gray hue, distinct from later glossy reproductions. The surface and tonality are consistent with early lithographic or collotype processes used for academic portfolios and teaching plates. The print bears period inscriptions and signature in the plate, including a dated notation (“99”), supporting an origin at the turn of the 20th century. Acquired through Michaan’s Auction House, Alameda, as part of a curated group of Richard Müller academic prints. Animal subjects such as this rhinoceros appear less frequently than figure studies and are particularly sought after for their graphic presence and broad decorative appeal. An excellent work for collectors of early modern European prints, German academic drawing, or natural history–inspired imagery.
