A rabbit painting an egg beside a boy is an unusual twist on the Easter theme, since the Easter Bunny is usually shown alone or surrounded by a basket of eggs. Here the animal is busy at the work of decorating, while the child watches or helps, which turns the holiday tradition into a small domestic scene. Scenes like this were common in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century greeting cards and magazine illustrations, when painted and dyed eggs were a familiar part of spring celebrations. Such images were meant to charm children and adults alike, and they show how the Easter rabbit became a playful figure for the holiday.
