The Hare (Le Lièvre)

Félix Bracquemond after Albert de Balleroy

National Gallery of Art

This print shows a hare in an open landscape. The hare is in the center, its ears up and alert, its face turned to the right. The ground around the hare is textured, suggesting grass or brush, with some twigs and tall grass on the right side of the print. In the background, there are gently rendered hills and the dark shapes of other hares running and jumping. The sky is light and clear.
