Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the print is framed. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank paper on every side, at no extra cost, so your framer has room to work. A 9.8 × 8.9 in print therefore arrives as 12.2 × 11.2 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 35.4 × 31.9 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is a work on paper: a watercolor, pastel, etching or drawing. We match the print medium to the original: works on paper go on fine art paper, oil paintings go on canvas. Our paper is pure cotton, 180 g/m² Fine Art Paper, finely textured and matte, free of optical brighteners, acids and lignin. It carries the dark densities and the fine detail of Dürer's original without any shine. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 25 × 22.5 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna, Austria. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Albrecht Dürer's "Young Hare" from 1502 is a masterpiece that hops right off the page and into our hearts. This diminutive watercolor packs more life and energy than many grand canvases a hundred times its size. Dürer has captured not just the form of a hare, but its very essence - alert, twitchy, ready to bolt at any moment.

The composition is deceptively simple - a lone hare crouched on a plain background. But look closer and you'll see the genius in every brushstroke. Dürer has positioned the animal slightly off-center, its body angled to create a sense of dynamic tension. Those impossibly long ears point in different directions, one pricked up in vigilance, the other relaxed, giving us a glimpse into the hare's shifting state of mind.

The color palette is subdued yet rich, dominated by warm browns and greys. Dürer builds up layers of delicate washes to create depth and texture, especially in the hare's fur. Look at how he's rendered each individual hair - some areas are soft and downy, others coarse and wiry. The wet sheen on the animal's nose and the glassy reflection in its eye are particular triumphs of technique.

What truly elevates this work is Dürer's unerring eye for detail combined with a profound empathy for his subject. He hasn't merely reproduced a hare - he's breathed life into it. Those liquid eyes seem to follow you around the room, alert and intelligent. The slight quiver you can almost feel in its whiskers, the taut muscles of its haunches ready to spring - this is a living, breathing creature captured in a moment of stillness.

Dürer's "Young Hare" is more than just a nature study - it's a celebration of the beauty and complexity of the natural world. In focusing his considerable talents on this humble subject, Dürer reminds us that true artistry can find profound meaning in the seemingly ordinary. This little hare, so vividly rendered over 500 years ago, still has the power to stop us in our tracks and marvel at the wonders that surround us every day.
