An Unknown

About this work

This print shows a dead hare lying on the ground with a small dog sniffing at it. Tall plants and flowers fill the background, and the scene looks like a quiet forest floor. The artist used only black lines and shading to create the whole image. The dog’s focus on the hare adds a sense of stillness to the scene. This work was made in 1862 by a French artist who often explored nature in his prints. Next, check out Félix Bracquemond to see how he blended realism with detailed linework.
