A Hare and a Leg of Lamb (Шаблон:Lang-fr) is a 1742 painting by French Rococo painter and engraver Jean-Baptiste Oudry.[1][2]

Description

The painting employs a trompe-l'œil technique and shows a skinned leg of lamb behind a dead hare, depicted with its eye open and a single drop of blood hanging from the end of its nose. The hare and the leg of lamb are nailed together to a wall.[3][4]

Oudry was known for his canvases featuring dead game, and A Hare and a Leg of Lamb has been described as, "uncannily real."[5] Others have criticized the canvas as, "lifeless and inert...both highly contrived and utterly dead."[3]

The painting was originally commissioned to be hung in a dining room.[6]
