Description
Draft for a Baby Jaguar, charcoal on handmade paper
33 x 24 cm
Donation by Richard Spira, now in the collection of the Atelier Fritz Hug
Creation year
1972
This charcoal drawing of the head of a baby jaguar served Fritz as a draft for a lithograph as well as for two oil paintings (1974 and 1978). Fritz liked the somewhat awkward expression of the still completely harmless predator so much that a reduction of the charcoal drawing was used for years to decorate his office stationery. Richard Spira acquired the picture in 1972 and later donated it to the Atelier Fritz Hug.
