Albrecht Durer


Albrecht Dürer, Young Hare, 1502, Watercolor


First and foremost, I love rabbits so of course the watercolor caught my attention immediately.  But also I love the simplicity of the painting itself and how the rabbit is the only and main focus of this work.  I really appreciate the detail of the fur, which was done patiently with layered brushstrokes, because I know how difficult and time consuming this would have been. I really love the expression of the rabbit, so much thinking...:)
