Painted in an impressionistic style with confident, expressive brushstrokes, the hare’s coat is rendered in rich brown ochre, soft white, and subtle grays, masterfully echoing the creature’s lifelike texture and weight. The background—a mesmerizing blend of blue, green, and gray—sets the hare off with an almost ethereal depth, evoking the quiet drama of a shadowed game larder. We've had this painting newly framed in a custom leather-wrapped frame, in a dark tobacco brown verging on black, lined with a thin gold filet. The effect is both chic and seductive, elevating the work into something timeless—earthy, painterly, and arresting, like a single poetic phrase plucked from the field and pinned into memory. See less
