The Rabbit 1866

"The Rabbit", a stark and realistic etching by Edouard Manet created in 1866, depicts a freshly killed rabbit lying on a table. The image is characterized by a focus on the animal's form and the use of bold, expressive lines. The print's simplicity and directness reflect Manet's interest in capturing the essence of his subject, a key aspect of his artistic style. "The Rabbit" is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
