Müller (1969-1939) was born in Livorno to a wealthy Swiss merchant family. He studied art in Florence and by the 1890s had moved to Paris and settled in Montmartre where he became friends with Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro and Paul Cézanne. Müller honed his skill as a master color etcher in Paris, then a hub for intaglio printmaking centered around the studios of Auguste Delâtre and Jean-François Raffaëlli.
