Studienblatt_ Zwei Kätzchen 1891

Fritz Boehle's "Studienblatt_ Zwei Kätzchen," a charcoal drawing created in 1891, depicts two sleeping kittens. This study of animal anatomy, housed in the Städel Museum, demonstrates Boehle's mastery of line and shadow, capturing the soft curves and fluffy texture of the feline subjects. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in the subtle variations in fur shading and the delicate rendering of each kitten's features. This work showcases Boehle's talent for animal portraiture and his ability to imbue even the most humble subject with life and charm.
