Maruyama Okyo
【Playing rabbits】

This painting, painted when Okyo was 38 years old, shows brushwork that is more faithful to the real thing than the plump, fluffy rabbits he often painted in his later years. The expression and fur are roughly drawn, but the shape of the ears and the rabbit's movements are captured very well.
