About this work

The Hare (after A. de Balleroy) is a painting that depicts a hare in a landscape. The hare is the central figure, sitting upright with its head turned to the right. It has long ears and a fluffy coat. The background is a blurred landscape with rolling hills and a few trees. The overall mood of the painting is one of serenity and calmness. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the hare's fur and the landscape. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, with the hare standing out against the softer background. The painting's focus on a single subject, the hare, creates a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation.
