About this work

This print shows bunnies in frilly dresses dancing in a circle. The animals wear tiny shoes and move fast—it’s playful but a bit off. Lautrec made this in 1895. He used a special print method called lithography, where ink sticks to greasy marks on stone. It’s black and white but full of energy. If you like this, check out lithography at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
