Little is recorded about this scene beyond its title, which places a young girl among rabbits and a basket of Easter eggs, so the picture is best read through its subject. Easter imagery of this kind grew popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when printed cards, magazine covers and illustrated postcards carried sentimental scenes of children with rabbits, chicks and painted eggs. The rabbit, long tied to spring and fertility, became a common Easter symbol in those years, and the eggs stand for renewal. Look closely at the pairing of child and animal, which reflects how such images tried to make the holiday feel gentle and domestic.
