Dog and Hare 

"Dog and Hare" is a painting by Jean-Baptiste Oudry, a prominent French artist known for his depictions of animals. The painting features a pair of hunting dogs, one standing alertly over a dead hare, the other resting in the foreground. Oudry's realistic portrayal of the animals and the idyllic forest setting reflects the popularity of animal paintings in 18th century Europe, particularly in France, where the pursuit of hunting was a popular pastime among the aristocracy. The piece highlights Oudry's mastery of detail and his ability to capture the essence of both the hunt and the natural world.
