This is "Hunter Showing Another Hunter His Shot Hare," an undated lithograph by François Grenier. The work is framed by a subtle grey border, which immediately structures the image. Inside this frame, Grenier composes a scene of hunting camaraderie. Grenier skillfully uses color to create depth, transitioning from the darker, earthier tones of the foreground to the lighter blues and greys of the sky. The central hunter, rendered in a dark blue coat, is the focal point, proudly displaying his kill. A younger figure stands to his side, perhaps an apprentice, while another hunter emerges from the foliage, gun in hand. The artist strategically employs diagonals to draw our eye through the composition. The gun and the slight incline of the landscape, combined with the tilt of the hare, creates a semiotic tension. Grenier's lithograph captures not just a scene, but a tableau that invites reflection on the rituals of hunting.
