The Artwork

Taken from an original casein painting, this illustration shows a brown Easter Bunny surrounded by a number of bright, decorated Easter Eggs.

The cute Bunny, wearing a spotted green bow tie, squats amidst the green vegetation with a smile that reveals two long teeth. It clutches a blue Easter Egg with the other eggs lying in the grass around.

A few daisies and a butterfly add to the colourful scene. And might that be a frog hidden amongst the plants?

The Easter Bunny as a symbol of Easter started in Germany centuries ago. The Bunny, actually a hare in the old tradition, would bring eggs and gifts to children at the start of the festive season.
