La valse des lapins

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

This image features a group of rabbits. One rabbit is close to the viewer, shown resting and eating vegetation. The brushwork consists of delicate lines and a stippled texture. In the background, another rabbit stands in front of a bright circular shape that may represent the sun or moon. The horizon line is low, highlighting the sky and distant landscape. The color scheme is predominantly black and gray, contrasting with the off-white paper. The title "La Valse des Lapins" is displayed at the top of the image.
