A rabbit in a waistcoat bows a double bass while a row of chicks listens from the foreground, a whimsical scene that fits the Easter theme of the board. Anthropomorphic animal illustrations like this one became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when postcards, children's books and seasonal greeting cards often showed rabbits and chicks dressed and behaving like people. Such images were meant to delight, and they still read as charming today. Notice how the artist uses the instrument's dark bulk against the pale, fluffy birds to hold the eye.
