Rabbits Roasting a Hunter and His Dogs

Virgilius Solis

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of a chaotic scene. A man with a long beard, wearing a hat and what appears to be full plate armor, lies on his back on the ground with his arms and legs raised in the air. Two dogs are nearby. Multiple rabbits are present, some on two legs and some on all fours, mimicking human and canine postures. Some rabbits hold weapons, including sticks and a large knife. A rabbit sits at a table with a piece of paper and writing utensil. A rabbit operates a spit with meat on it. Rabbits appear to be attacking the man and interacting with his armor and the dogs. The scene depicts a surreal inversion of a typical hunting scenario.
