Baby Vicuña

The wild vicuñas are the smallest species of New World camels, a group of animals that Fritz rarely depicted. This work captivates viewers with the natural cuteness of its subject matter, as well as its bold strokes and equally bold choice of colors. The fluffiness of the fur is depicted by short, striking brushstrokes, which are repeated in the complementary color blue for the background. The picture is convincing both as a zoological depiction and as a work of art.
