You see a snowy field where two men with spears chase a rabbit, while others warm their hands by a fire in the distance. Bruegel made this as an etching—the only print he carved himself. He copied his own ink-drawing style, using tiny dots and dashes to make the air feel cold and the trees look far away. Even the mountains in the background were rare in the flat Netherlands, where people loved seeing them. Look up more works in the subject flanders.
