Sometimes Fritz wanted to depict an animal with zoological precision. Often he was also interested in showing movement and dynamics. Occasionally, however, he simply created an effective overall picture, a decorative element to adorn a wall. This lithograph of a hedgehog on an autumnal forest floor belongs to the latter group. Foliage in various stages of discoloration, a few rose hips and some blue sky, actually all just background, almost steal the show away from the lively little hedgehog.
