The Renaissance painter Hans Hoffmann found his highly revered role model in Albrecht Dürer, whose images fascinated him in their lifelike portrayal. Known is his memorandum to the great artist in which a rabbit is depicted on a white background after Art Dürer, signed with the monogram of Dürer and his year of death 1528th Hans Hoffmann, who was born in 1530, was so enthusiastic about the art of the master he became a great copyist of his works. - At the time there was no other possibility of duplication. - The "hare in the forest" is considered the basis for the artistic motive variant animal piece. The exact viewer will notice that the scene can not be deep in the forest. The broad plantain grows only on "kicked", solid ground, bare sand and wood shavings, which obviously come from the work of an ax, are testimonials for it. The foreground of the picture shows lifelike studies of thistles, clover and lady's mantle, also butterflies, snails and a grasshopper can be discovered. In the background, the motifs are blurred, which encourages the interpretation of the uncertain.
