A Girl Holding a Hare 1648 - 1658

Stefano della Bella's etching "A Girl Holding a Hare" (1648-1658) showcases the artist's masterful use of line and detail, creating a dynamic composition. The figure of a young woman, dressed in flowing drapery, is set against a swirling background of foliage and a hare held aloft, all interwoven into a complex, Baroque design. This intricate composition, typical of Della Bella's style, evokes a sense of movement and vitality, making this work a prime example of the Italian artist's contributions to the Baroque era.
