Animalia Life-Size Model of a Rabbit Hand-Painted Made of Terracotta
$4,700.00This is a lovely life-size hand-painted rabbit expertly modeled in terracotta. Combining a high-quality model and terrific painting with great attention to detail created this realistic sculpture that is so life-like. She has personality: sitting contentedly, looking at the viewer. Possibly she’s waiting for a handful of lettuce. Made in Austria in the late 19th century, our rabbit measures 12″ long x 10.75″ x 6″ across. Since we found her in England, most likely, she was made for the English market. In Victorian England, animal figures of lions, cows, dogs, and other animals were quite popular. But, a figure of a rabbit is an unusual find.
