Lot Essay

Muller was part of the Bristol School, and studied under James Baker Pyne (1800-1870). His early work took the bucolic surroundings of Gloucestershire and Wales as it's subject matter, and drawings such as this one were influenced by painters including Claude and Ruysdael. In the 1830s and 1840s he made two trips to the Middle East, and it is for the pictures made on these trips that he is best known.
