Two rabbits, one white and one gray, lie on a grassy hill in this horizontal painting on paper. On our left, the white rabbit rests so its front paws face us, and it looks slightly off to our left. To our right, the gray rabbit takes up most of the picture with its head near the white rabbit and its tail nearly touching the right edge of the paper. Tiny pen and graphite strokes make up the individual hairs of the rabbits' fur and whiskers. The ground close to us is olive and earth green. Mountains are frosty teal-green in the distance under lavender-gray clouds streaking up and to our left against a blue sky. Two birds fly in the deep distance. Tiny writing in black ink in the top left corner spells "Leach" in the top left corner. A number 1 appears next to the gray rabbit’s head and a number 2 next to the white.
