This painting shows a detailed image of a marsh rabbit. The artist, Peale, Titian Ramsay, created this work in 1836. It's interesting that he was able to create such a detailed piece at a young age, and also that he used lithography to create the image. You can learn more about the process he used by looking into the technique: lithography.
