Rabbit and Two Fighting Men is a 1747 watercolor by Giovanni Francesco Costa, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a chaotic scene with a large rabbit in the center, its fur drawn in green and brown. Two men in red and white armor are fighting on either side of it, their swords crossed above the rabbit’s back. The background is dark, with a few small figures and a faint landscape. The rabbit seems oddly calm while the men clash around it, like a bizarre centerpiece. This style mixes sharp lines with bright, flat colors, giving it a dreamlike feel. Want to see more?
