Crouching Rabbit

Antoine-Louis Barye

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a small rabbit in a calm posture with perked ears, resting partially on its haunches on a textured base. The rabbit is sculpted from dark material with a green patina, resembling aged bronze. It has a smooth yet detailed surface, with visible contours defining its form. The rectangular base has tiered edges matching the rabbit's color and material. The sculpture is compact in size, suitable for display on a table or shelf.
