William James Müller was known for the rapidity and efficiency of his sketches, and for his ability to capture the shifting conditions of weather and light in rugged landscapes. He made two separate trips to the Near East, the second, in 1843, in the company of an archaeologist who was studying sites in the region. He exhibited his elegant drawings in exhibitions after returning home.
