About this work

You see a hunter and a villager in a rural setting, one holding a hare and the other with a rifle. The hunter is examining the hare, and the two seem to be having a conversation. This scene is simple, but it tells a story about human connection, and to learn more about how it was created, look up the technique: lithography.
