Striding Bull on a High Pedestal
ca 1904-1910
Fritz Boehle captures a striking scene of a muscular bull striding atop a tall, ornate pedestal, likely part of a fountain given the arc of water spouting into the basin below. Rendered in warm, earthy sepia tones, the sketch feels like a quick but expressive study, perhaps for a sculpture or a larger painting. The bold, confident strokes bring the animal to life against a backdrop of loosely sketched trees, showcasing Boehle's famous talent for depicting rural life and powerful animals. This piece reflects his deep connection to German realism and his fascination with the strength of nature.
