The Hare (after A. de Balleroy)

Félix Bracquemond

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white drawing of a hare. The hare sits on its hind legs in the center of the image, looking to the right with its ears pointed upwards. It has large eyes and a small nose. Its fur is shaded to show depth and texture. The hare sits on dark grass or soil with tufts of grass around it and to the right there is a small bare bush. In the background on the left, there is a hill. A second hare can be seen running in the distance on the left. The sky above is light and speckled. The drawing is signed by the artist in faint cursive at the bottom right. The image has a thick off-white border around it.
