Associated Names

Pat Oliphant

Artist, American, born 1935

The image shows a caricatured face and an exaggerated rabbit. The face has drooping features and sad eyes, sitting in a chair, while the rabbit is drawn in a cartoonish style with large eyes and teeth, leaping energetically. The drawing uses minimal lines and smudging for depth and motion, with a whimsical and humorous tone.
