Wildcat Portrait, oil on canvas
Creation year
1977
The European wildcat is extremely shy and avoids human settlements. As a result, there is hardly any interbreeding with domestic cats, which is why the species has been able to remain relatively pure. The wildcat reacts defensively to humans, which is why Fritz likes to depict them like this: Hissing, baring its teeth and with its ears folded back tightly.
