Hare Pursued by a Goshawk

Karl Bodmer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white forest scene with a hare running in the foreground and a goshawk swooping down from above. The hare has long ears and strong hind legs. It is positioned in center, right side of the image, with its body stretched out horizontally and its head turned to the right. The goshawk has wings spread wide and talons extended. It is positioned to the right of the hare, slightly above it. There are several trees in the background. A large tree with a twisted trunk and branches dominates the left side of the image. The forest floor is covered in grass, bushes, and other foliage. The image appears to be an illustration from a book, with text printed along the bottom edge.
