    Not a bad gig for an after school job. It beats carrying golf clubs for jerks at the country club.

    Fritz’ older brother told him to take the Greyhound and get out of town…so he did.

    You know the rules, guys … no treats until you rip a fox into bloody gobbets.

    They’re riding away from it and he has no lance, so I guess his lance is stuck in the windmill.

    it turns out that this painting came up for auction in 2019. The auction listing URL is https://fineart.ha.com/itm/paintings/carl-friedrich-schulz-german-1796-1866-young-boy-resting-beside-a-fence-with-hunting-dogs-1835oil-on/a/5411-69071.s and the image there is better than this one.

    Cornered by the hounds, little Fritz awaits the mounted police, who will finish him off with the coup de grace. “Stop und Fritz” – a cruel policy, but it DID reduce crime !

    The Volk, at the end of their wits/ resorted to “Stop und Fritz”/ it’s brutal at best/ and a bit of a pest/ if YOU are the person it hits !

    Very funny, very clever. Obviously the dogs had a change of heart when they cornered the endearing little boy!

    Look, as long as whitey does what I tell him he can hunt freely. But you two dummies are gonna have to stay yoked until you get the routine.

    has info and links that point to more info about this roughly B2 paper size painting.

     

    https://www.ruzhnikov.com/russian-european-paintings/life-guard-lancer-regiment-on-manoeuvres/ 

    https://www.askart.com/artist/Karl_Friedrich_Schulz/11129444/Karl_Friedrich_Schulz.aspx 

    both have info about this artist (again, if the full askart.com bio doesn’t show because it’s been added to, it can be read in full for free on Fridays), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL, which indirectly points to his German Wikipedia page: 

    https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Friedrich_Schulz_(Maler) 

    (again, Google Chrome can automatically translate as necessay). First work by him used here.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (⌘- or Ctrl-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2394 (February 27, 2020) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

     

    P.S. A somewhat odd feature of this painting is the artist actually signed and dated it twice, first in 1834, and then in 1835 (keeping the 1834).

    ♫ She walked through the corn leading down to the river, her hair shown like gold in the hot morning sun. She took all the love that a poor man could give her and left me to die like a fox on the run. ♫
