A rabbit with long ears and spindly limbs sitting on a boulder is cast in bronze in this freestanding sculpture. In this view, the rabbit’s body is angled to our left. It rests its long muzzle on its right fist, to our left. That elbow rests on the right, bent knee. The other wrist rests on the other bent knee. The textured boulder sits on a disk-like round base also cast in bronze, and the sculpture is displayed on a grassy lawn against a screen of mature green trees.
