A dynamic and expressive gouache work on paper, Rainer Fetting's *Boy and Bird* showcases the German Neo-Expressionist artist's bold, gestural brushwork and vibrant use of color. The composition captures an intimate yet charged moment between human and animal, rendered with raw emotional energy characteristic of Fetting's style. Loose, confident strokes bring both figures to life against the paper surface, reflecting the spontaneity and immediacy that define his approach to figurative painting.
