Young Hare

A Young Hare
Albrecht Durer
Watercolor
1502

This painting has an amazing amount of detail on the rabbit's fur. The strokes are all so unique that it gives the fur an appearance of softness. If you have ever touched a rabbit's ears before, you may know how especially soft they are. The way Durer used a combination of specks and strokes on the ears makes it appear to have the same texture as a rabbit's actual ears.
