The Large Rabbit is a 1891 by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
In this painting, a rabbit is depicted in a dramatic pose, with its body contorted and its legs splayed out. The rabbit's fur is rendered in soft, feathery brushstrokes, giving it a sense of texture and depth. The background of the painting is dark and moody, with swirling clouds and a sense of turmoil. The rabbit's pose is dynamic and expressive, conveying a sense of energy and movement. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts of light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds to the dramatic effect of the painting. The Cleveland Museum of Art holds this painting, which showcases the artist's skill in capturing the beauty and emotion of a simple subject.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
