The Rabbits (1893): Art, History and Details

The Rabbits (1893) is in the Cleveland Museum of Art collection. The museum's creator attribution is Henri Charles Guérard (French, 1846–1897).

The work and its context

The museum's open-access catalogue describes the work:

Since Guérard was described as the "Japonais de Paris" (Japanese of Paris), it is appropriate that the stylistic source for The Rabbits would be the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), who made many woodcuts of animals.
