Twee konijnen 1900 - 1930

"Twee konijnen" (Two Rabbits) is a black and white photograph by Dutch photographer Richard Tepe, created sometime between 1900 and 1930. The photograph, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts two rabbits lying in a bed of sand. The composition is simple and intimate, with the focus on the soft fur and gentle expressions of the animals. Tepe's photograph captures a moment of quiet contemplation, highlighting the beauty and vulnerability of these creatures. This intimate and naturalistic photograph exemplifies the Pictorialist movement, a photographic style that emerged at the turn of the 20th century and embraced artistic expression and subjective interpretation.
