The artwork titled “Untitled (Two Rabbits, Pampas Grass, and Full Moon)” by the artist Hiroshige, created between 1849 and 1851, exhibits the distinctive style of Ukiyo-e. This woodcut, measuring 20 x 24.8 cm, falls under the genre of animal painting.
In the artwork, two rabbits can be seen beneath the serene light of a full moon, which occupies the upper portion of the composition. The rabbits, one appearing more prominent in white and the other with a subtle hint of pink, are depicted on a gentle slope adorned with pampas grass. The backdrop features an expansive blue sky, capturing the tranquility of night. The simplicity and elegance of the scene, combined with the delicate rendering of the flora and fauna, reflect the quintessential aesthetics of Ukiyo-e. The moondappled scene embodies a profound sense of calm and natural harmony.
