More about this artwork
The artwork "Liggend konijn" by Julie de Graag, created in 1916, showcases a strikingly simple yet captivating depiction of a reclining rabbit. This woodcut print highlights de Graag's distinctive style, characterized by minimalistic design and bold contrasts. The rabbit, defined by clean, fluid outlines, is set against a vivid red background that enhances the visual impact of the piece.Julie de Graag's use of a restricted color palette—incorporating red, white, and black—allows for a strong graphic statement that draws viewers into the serenity and vulnerability of the depicted rabbit. Her attention to detail is evident in the subtle shadings on the rabbit's body and the delicate rendering of its features, from the whiskers to the nuanced expression in its eyes."Liggend konijn" serves as a beautiful example of de Graag’s artistry in capturing the essence of her subjects with a profound, almost contemplative simplicity.
