Eagle Catching a Hare is a 1790 oil by Johann Friedrich Grooth, a Rococo painting work, held at Nationalmuseum.
In this painting, an eagle is seen grasping a hare in its talons, with the hare lying on its back. The eagle's wings are spread wide, and its gaze is fixed intently on the hare. The scene is set against a backdrop of a cloudy sky and a field of grass. The eagle's feathers are rendered in dark brown hues, while the hare's fur is depicted in white and light brown tones. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of tension and drama, as the eagle's sharp talons grip the hare's body. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Johann Friedrich Grooth, who was known for his detailed and realistic depictions of animals.
