Two rabbits on a black background, decorative sketch: the poetry of a captured moment by P C Skovgaard
The composition features two rabbits contrasting against a deep black background, where the softness of the fur and the delicacy of the features take center stage. The limited palette favors natural tones and shadow play, while the sketchy touch reveals a freedom of execution and great sensitivity to detail. The atmosphere conveyed is both intimate and contemplative: an almost palpable silence interrupted by the discreet life of the animals. Visual elements — gaze, posture, and texture — come together to offer an image that is both realistic and poetic.

While best known for his patriotic landscapes and studies of nature, this sketch demonstrates his talent for capturing animal life with precision and sensitivity. Influenced by a strong attachment to the land and the academic practices of his time, Skovgaard helped renew naturalist representation in Scandinavia. His works, often studied in art history, show mastery of light and material rendering, giving each composition a lasting presence.
