Girl with a Rabbit c. 1800

John Hoppner's "Girl with a Rabbit" (c. 1800) depicts a young girl, dressed in a brown dress and a large, wide-brimmed hat, holding a rabbit. The painting is characterized by its soft and delicate brushstrokes, with a focus on capturing the sweet innocence of childhood. Hoppner, a renowned portrait painter of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, was known for his ability to capture the likeness and personality of his sitters. This tender portrayal of a young girl with her pet rabbit continues this tradition.
