About this work

This print shows a chaotic scene with two rabbits and a dog tangled in action. One rabbit is mid-leap, another lies sprawled, and the dog chases them with legs splayed awkwardly. The colors are flat—deep reds, dark browns, and soft grays—with rough, uneven lines that look hand-carved. The artist used a technique where ink is pressed into carved wood, then stamped onto paper. The texture of the print matches that process, with visible grain and patches of exposed paper. Look up woodcut to see how this print was made.
