Seated Cat

This watercolor charcoal drawing depicts a seated tabby cat looking over its shoulder at us. Precisely placed charcoal strokes outline the figure, while a touch of watercolor renders the fur in warm reddish-brown and violet tones. The bright green eyes form the visual focal point of the image and lend the animal a special presence. Typical of a watercolor by Fritz: The sketchy, spontaneous execution combines graphic precision with painted ease and impressively captures the lively character of this particular cat.
