Young animals are cute, especially kittens. However, this very young tiger has already left this stage behind: Although the proportions are not yet those of an adult animal and the facial expression is not yet very frightening, you would not want to encounter a cat of this size in the wild. In this work period, Fritz mostly used unbleached raw linen as a background, which is perfectly suited to the colors of the mostly yellow to light brown big cats.
