Rabbits c. 19th century

Editor: Here we have "Rabbits" by W.T. Green, an etching from the Harvard Art Museums. It's a charming scene, almost like a snapshot. What story do you think this image is trying to tell? Curator: It whispers of quiet observation, doesn’t it? The artist, capturing not just rabbits, but rabbit-ness. The watchful alertness in one, the plump ease of the other. There's a tenderness here. Do you feel it? Editor: I do, the rabbits feel so alive! But are we reading too much into bunnies? Curator: Perhaps! But isn't that the joy of art? Seeing ourselves reflected, even in the twitch of a rabbit's nose? It's a reminder to look closer. Editor: A new way of seeing. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure!
