Footnote
Fritz Behn was a German sculptor who is best known for his sculptures depicting African animals. Between 1907-10, Behn made two trips to East Africa where he stayed for extended periods making anatomical drawings and studies of the indigenous wildlife. This experience proved to be a pivotal moment in Behn's artistic career. On his return to Munich, Behn began to create small and large scale animal sculptures based on his African studies. These sculptures showcased Behn's skill in capturing movement and detail, gaining him international recognition and accolades.
