About this work

This etching shows a rabbit curled up in the grass, surrounded by bushes and trees. The background has a distant landscape with rolling hills and a few scattered figures. The lines are loose and sketchy, with lots of shading to create depth. The artist focused on the rabbit’s fur texture, using cross-hatching to make it look soft. The scene feels quiet and natural, like a moment frozen in time. Next, check out Félix Bracquemond to see how his work shifted between styles.
