About the piece

Painted in 1908, this oil on canvas by Henri Rousseau is a delightful example of his signature 'Naïve' style. The composition features a grey rabbit meticulously depicted alongside vibrant orange carrots and a large cabbage leaf, set against the rhythmic texture of a red brick wall and the delicate foliage of a young tree.
