# The Rabbit Hunt, in Pieter Bruegel

Pieter Bruegel made this in 1560, aged 35. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> In this etching considered the artist's only autograph print, Pieter Bruegel the Elder replicated the graphic vocabulary of dots and dashes of his pen-and-ink drawings to evoke a vivid sense of atmosphere and light and create a deep recession into space.
