Red Foxes in the Winter Snow (by Wilhelm Kuhnert) Canvas Afdruk

This design features an illustration by the German artist Wilhelm Kuhnert (1865–1926). It reflects the artist’s deep fascination with wildlife and his talent for portraying animals with both naturalistic accuracy and emotional resonance. We can see foxes moving through a snowy landscape here, capturing not only their physical forms but also the subtle tension of their environment. The painting’s atmosphere is defined by its winter setting. Kuhnert uses the cool, muted tones of snow to heighten the warm reddish hues of the foxes’ fur, allowing them to stand out vividly against the landscape. Kuhnert’s foxes are poised and observant, embodying the alertness typical of animals surviving in harsh conditions. The tranquil but slightly tense winter atmosphere gives the whole scene an emotional undercurrent. The foxes’ survival instincts, the cold quiet of the landscape and the painter’s careful observation come together to create a moment that feels both intimate and wild. The original artwork of the red foxes was drawn by Wilhelm Kuhnert in 1893.
