Rabbit's Blood

Rabbit's Blood

To the extreme right of the landscape at the horizon is shown the king’s palace. Left and diagonally below is the huntsman’s black horse in a forest clearing. The huntsman sits green clad at the root of the foreground, great oak tree.
Centre to the painting the old hunchback, holding aloft a dead rabbit, bloodies the huntsman’s sword. The newborn hunchback prince lies on a red cloth to the left of the old hunchback’s donkey. Above him we can see Earthdom and the flying horse in a scene which forms the contents and composition of the companion painting – The Flying Horse of Earthdom
