A drawing of Vulcan, standing nude, seen from the back; his head is turned to the right and he is a holding a hammer in his left hand whilst resting his right hand on an anvil. His right foot is on the ground, and his left is raised on a cooling trough. It is likely that Muller was planning to make a series of engravings based on this group of drawngs (RL 12965-12968).
