The artwork, titled “Why, Mary Ann, what are you doing out here,” was created by Arthur Rackham and belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) art movement. It falls under the genre of illustration and is part of the series “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.”
In the artwork, a scene from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” is vividly depicted. A young girl, likely Alice, is seen standing and gazing curiously at a dressed rabbit standing upright on a path amidst an eerie, somewhat surreal woodland setting. The rabbit appears to be in a state of agitation or surprise as it gestures towards Alice. The background includes other unusual trees with a melancholic atmosphere characteristic of Rackham’s illustrative style, featuring delicate lines and soft hues that invoke a dreamlike quality.
