Rabbit Watercolour Painting Monet The painting celebrates the stag

Misty layered hills and a pale stretch of water recede into the distance

There is no clutter or detail beyond the rabbit itself

The effect is bold and weightless at once

smoky darks against searing warm light

Around him, seed heads and thin blades of grass are suggested rather than drawn, their sandy greens and faint lilacs dissolving into the light
