Matthias Dudler is a Hug collector who mainly buys oil paintings, often in large formats, for which he sometimes digs deep into his pockets. This painting shows Albert Schweitzer at his desk at work in the jungle hospital in Lambarene, which also gives the work historical significance. Fritz was in no way an animal painter at that time, but the cat in the picture is already so well done that you can somehow sense his destiny as an artist.
