The Hare (Le Lièvre) by Albert de Balleroy. Black and white drawing of a hare standing on its hind legs, facing right, with both ears pointed upward. The hare's body is shaded with darker tones on its back and lighter tones on its chest and belly. Behind the hare, a small tree with sparse leaves is on the right and two running hares are on the left, with a hill in the background. The sky above is light with darker shading near the top of the hill. The image has a textured appearance with a light-colored border around the edges. The drawing appears to be an etching or engraving. The overall scene depicts a landscape with a focus on the central hare.
