About the painting
Young Hare (German: Feldhase) is a 1502 watercolour and bodycolour painting by the German artist Albrecht Dürer. Although the piece is normally given the title Young Hare, the physical characteristics of the hare identify it as a mature specimen; the German title translates as "Field Hare" and the work is sometimes referred to in English as the Hare or Wild Hare.

Painted in 1502 in his workshop in Nuremberg, Germany, it is acknowledged as a masterpiece of observational art alongside his Great Piece of Turf from the following year. The subject is rendered with almost photographic accuracy.
The work remained in Dürer's workshop until his death in 1528. The work was then sold to Willibald Imhoff, to whom it belonged until 1588, when Imhoff sold it to Emperor Rudolf II due to financial difficulties. In 1691, the work made its final move to the Albertina Museum in Vienna, where it is still held.
